I wish you heard my very last words

You took the easy way out,

and you took the fastest route

You only “care” about me for clout

What is this really all about?


I am grateful for the good,

but I despise you for the bad

Do you see how many chances you had?

So many chances to shape up,

to clean up, 

and to get up


Is that too hard?

Is the destination too far?

The noises, 

the voices,

and the choices

You knew, didn’t you?


You “try”, of course you do

That will never be enough,

but I guess it’s too late to grow up

There’s my last words

I hope I touched those sensitive nerves
