Failing

It feels like running on a treadmill that is set to fast. 

I panic at night,

Find distractions during the day.

I'm ready for it to be over.

For someone to pull the plug before I totally fall off.

I do other things people only dream of.

I beat the odds in record time,

Because it's not what they want it doesn't count.

Because it doesn't give them a number it doesn't matter.

I took a chance and now my future falls apart at my feet.

How to bale yourself out when the boat your in is the titanic.

I was suppose to be something great,

Amazing beyond belief.

Now brought to tears by my own failure and short comings.

I only have myself to blame,

That is why I don't ask for help.

My fault, my mess,

my solutions. 

That is how we have gotten here.

I'm drowning and can't see a way out. 

It hurts inside and out.

This should never have happened.
