Unhappy with yourself

if you are unhappy
with yourself
what is the first thing
you’ll do
to ease your hurt
lash out at others
so they can also taste the dirt

if you are unhappy
with yourself
what is the second thing
you’ll do
to ease your hurt
you’ll do what
is natural for you
whether it be..
Screaming
Cussin’
Drinkin
Fightin
or
Druggin
You’ll do it all
just so the others
are being dragged through
the same mud
you soak in

If you are unhappy
with yourself
what is the third thing
you’ll do
to ease your hurt
Come up with excuses
to make yourself
seem justified
hope that everyone
around you is
just as miserable
when you need
to let the tears
you feel
cry

Because the fourth thing
that happens
when your unhappy
with things you can
change in your life
is well…..
Guess…
