Half-Mile Ankle Drag

I'd like to think atleast

I'm ingenuitive with how I speak

A word of wisdom here or there

Speaking stupidity with lots of flair

Can you see my half-day gaze?

I've returned to amend my ways

Here I fall and I shall remain

Too damp and cold to set souls aflame

Sad to say that it's just a test

I may deliver an impact subpar at best

But atleast I've tried, more than once

My luck's just drained in this instance

Bones emerge from epidermis shield

Nothing halts this fear that they wield

And here I am, another stab in my flow

Left in the highway with no direction to follow

Sad is me, skin's a bit bruised

Maybe tonight I'll fall into disuse

Disgracing the family title as I trudge along

Humming a tune to a melody that once was called song

Sorry, Mom, I know this boy's not what you want

Forgive me, Dad, I know this boy's not what expected

I apologize to all who know the real me

Who realize what it is to act as an epic monstrosity

Thank god today, I haven't quite been rejected

But I'm still bleeding

Still beaten

Still being dragged by the ankle

Believe me.
