Ode to the Underachiever
I'm falling back into my old ways.
I wish the urge to change would stay.
I'm falling back in love with the thought that I used to run to when I was numb.
I'm falling...
I don't know how this happened.
I thought I was done.
The scars faded, and I smiled more.
But I'm falling back into the darkness.
The one that tore my world apart.
Soon, the scars will return, and the smile will cease to exist.
I am no longer the person you see.
I will only have an imagination of what I could never achieve.
