i have discovered the inescapable truth that i am a failure, it is as factual as needing to breathe, eat or drink water to survive

i am the goldfish bellyup at the pet store, the glued together milk can at the fair, the tire blown out on the highway

just a disaster of a person, a walking tragedy, the moral to a story, the punchline of an unfunny joke

a waste of space, time and emotional investment

the reason for emotional divestment to be perfectly frank

a scaborous rat with the plague, a person to be pointedly ignored, pointed at and mocked, cross the street to be avoided

a walking failure of insignificant means, the person you hope your kids do not grow up to be, the one you dread your daughter bringing home

that is me
