Never trust a liar. Even though they will always trust themselves.

Distractions

You, OH you!
Haunting my thoughts
Every day
All day

Igniting me
Fueling distraction
And burned minutes
I cannot spare

Equally depressing
And inspiring
To be so
Out of control

When control is
Not just desired
But necessary
I feel I’m such a failure

And just a boy
Of half a century
