like every fear
of failure
I have.

What’s a motive
of mine?:
Not to be broke,
I’ll be a nobody
just like everybody
else.

Hell, I’m somebody
Well, not necessarily
Barely am I
a plastic “somebody.”
Low self-esteem
Has me to believe
I’m not here
to be clear
so swell on tears,
get me down
again
Misery is my
Best friend.
