What the Hell Did I Do Wrong?

(Trigger Warning: Depression)

Am I stupid?
Is that the problem here?

Because it seems the only thing I can do

Is screw things up

For me and for you.

I try to concentrate.

I try to pay attention

But the only thing I get for my efforts

Is a voice in my head

That calls out

"What the hell are you doing?

Do you know how bad you look?
Are you trying to be an idiot?

'Cause that's all you ever do."

I know I screw things up.

I really try, I do.

But my effort always ends in

Glares and insults and hurt feelings.

What the hell is going on?

I couldn't tell ya.

Because all I ever do

All I ever will do

Is screw things up

For me and for you.
