Here we go again

another failure 

I'm so tired of fighting 

look where it's gotten me

on the losing end

hurting the ones I love

and hurting myself

so many nights I cried

praying to be normal 

whatever normal is

I had a plan 

but I always have a plan

and I never tell anyone

until I'm ready to execute it

that's always my mistake

I either say the right things

at the wrong times

or I say nothing at all

now I have so much to say

the truth is painful

maybe it's what I deserve

history tells us 

those who don't learn 

are doomed to repeat it

when you learn nothing

you lose everything

so when will I learn

because it's always me

never anyone else

I'm so tired of fighting 

beating myself up so badly

that I can barely stand
