Crazy As Them

Crazy people never succeed. 

Every time they fail-

They were simply being too ambitious. 

Every time they avoid failure-

It is because someone grudgingly rescued them. 

The outcome is always the same either way. 

With them recovering from their wasted efforts. 

So that explains this cycle I’m in. 

It’s not about how much I hope and yearn. 

Or make lists and plans. 

Or even how hard I try. 

No, it is simple.

I am trapped with the mistakes of a crazy person. 

Crazy people never succeed. 

And neither do I.
