Catch-22

When everything has always been your fault
And you know deep down it always, ever will
So many things you knew that you should halt
The ones you didn't haunt your conscience still

You try to live your life without mistakes
You try to watch each little word and deed
Despite the constant vigilance it takes
Despite the fact that no one else pays heed

When each new day brings bucketloads of sin
When each relationship means extra pain
And all you see is damnation again
And all you feel is how you're filled with stain

When every time you open up your mouth
You find your foot inserted deep inside
And every time you help somebody out
You find it all so badly gone awry

How do you find the strength to carry on?
How do you not seek ways to speed the end?
How not decide it's best if you are gone?
Oops! there you go, you're thinking wrong again

  1. So this one is basically unedited, just posted as it was typed a little while ago with only a couple quick changes made when I read it over before posting. There should be lots that could be improved! I'll be looking at it again and seeing improvements to make over the next few days, but feel free to make suggestions yourself :)
