Each time I think I have achieved something,
There is always something that tells me
No, this is just nothing
No, there are still some things you cannot do
I think it's the other part of me keeping checks
So I don't ever go overboard again
So I don't ever try promising to risky commitments again
Then try driving myself off to the nearest cliff again
I don't know if it's good
Because I can never taste nor delight in my little successes
I would never allow myself to
It frustrates me, thinking that the only great thing I have done
Was to win a little of the genetic lottery
And I did a little breathing,
And I was born with complete organs
Well, except for my faulty eyes but that's all
It's not much to be proud of
If I had something to be,
I'd look the other way
And try to forget it
Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful
But it's also a part of me that is so used to failure
I don't think I could ever achieve the things I want
I'm still trying no matter what
But each time I hit a little success milestone,
A part of me, a part of life would always remind me
That this is and is actually just nothing
I'm not sure if it's depressing or inspiring
It always reminds me to be humble
I'm trying
