I'm tired of the way the ball always bounces
I'm tired of the way the ball always bounces,
and of gaining pounds while only eating ounces,
tired that for every one step forward, there's two steps back,
and that my glass is always half empty because of that crack,
and tired of the poetry teacher - who my name perpetually mispronounces.
