My life has been
A series of disappointments
Many at my own hand
As a kid I was shy
And just got by in school
I never had the courage
To stand up for myself
I thought I was lucky in love
But alcoholism ruined
My happily ever after
My latest blunder
Involves a large dish of ice cream
I can’t lose this weight
If I keep stress eating
So often I see myself
As the problem in the equation
Sometimes I just wonder
Am I worth the space I take up
