More than I Am

I cannot pretend to be more than I am

I am quick to anger

Covetous 

I lie to save other's feelings

At times I am slothful

Lustful

I do not give enough

I cannot be more than my family

I will never get out of this town

the town my father and grandfather grew up in

I cannot be better

I will never be great

I will not become a writer

I will always just be this

here

as I am 

Nothing, nobody

A small statistic to the world and a failure to my family

A failure to myself

I will always just be this, I can't be more than what I am.
