I don't remember to wash off my green beans before I eat them. I'm not patient And I think complaining is pathetic, But I still end up doing it. I'm not considerate And I have trouble empathizing And I'm always desperate for attention A sure sign of a weakness. It's not necessary to tell me my faults. I'm well acquainted with them. Probably moreso than anyone else. I read because it distracts me from how empty my life is And I like when people don't know my music. It makes me feel superior. There are thousands more. Some very silly, like how I never really finish my own beer And some important, like how I play the martyr way too often. But just trust me. I know them plenty. Let me survive.
