Incompetence
  I think too much.
  I swear too much.
  I don't sleep enough.
  I don't talk enough.
  And when I do it comes out in lies;
  In stutters, in whispers
  With averted eyes.
  Im trying to do things
  Without sweaty palms and
  Weak knees.
  This life in my head,
  It isn't at my fingertips.
  Its real, but
  I don't know how to get to it.
  I had it once,
  But it slipped out of my slimy hands
  And crashed down right it front of me.
  When I picked the shiny shattered remnants
  My reflection turned away from me.
  embarrassed.
  Im so sorry,
  I didn't mean
  Its just that its too hard to be yourself
  When you're all alone.
  How am I suppose to live,
  When I have no home?
