someone took the narrative
that i was an idiot
and ran with it.

they're stuffing foam in my garden hose
they're burning all my algebra notes
they're stepping on my sand castles
like my effort is one big hassle

maybe it's your problem
that nothing i do makes you happy
maybe it's your problem
that you break beautiful things
maybe, just maybe
re-evaluate the narrative you wrote
some writers can be untrustworthy folks
