An Embarrassing Story To Tell

everyone has an embarrassing story to tell
everyone has been down on their luck
everyone has been disgusted with life
everyone has wanted to jump

everyone has wanted more
everyone has needed less
everyone has an amazing talent
everyone has done their best

everyone can grow if they want
everyone can destroy themselves
everyone can set fire to the earth
everyone can take their life off the shelf

everyone has something to gain
everyone has something to sell
everyone knows they don’t have to
everyone has an embarrassing story to tell.
