Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

I'm Wiser Now

I used to do it all
But it was never enough

I’d go over and above
I’d do better than my best
And still it wasn’t up to par

Now I barely do enough
And guess what~
I’m in no worse predicament

It still isn’t enough
But at least...
I know why

Yes it still sucks
But finally
I’m ok with it
