TW: implied break-up, self-deprecating thoughts.

Roman was a screw-up, he didn't know when to analyse the situation or how to. 

He set low goals and they weren't high enough.

The schoolwork was hard, but maybe that was because he was stupid.

The work seemed neverending, but maybe that was because he wasn't organised enough.

Sometimes he felt like crying but he was just being over-dramatic.

He set higher goals for himself but he never seemed to reach them, no matter how hard he tried.

He was just a screw-up.

When he grew up it wasn't any better.

He sat in front of the open laptop, fingers hovering over the keys as if waiting for inspiration.

His open fingers clenched into his palms, fists.

He had screwed up with his boyfriend and now he had screwed up at his job. 

No matter how hard he tried, he would always be a screw-up.
