Can't Do It


I don't think I'll be able to do it

I try to let go; not let my emotions sit

But every time you tell me I'm close

I screw up and drink a sabotage dose

Then I'm angry at myself and believe

I'll do my chores, be good until the next 

Opportunity comes to be un-grounded. Blex!

I don't think I'll be able to do it but

I'm going to try my hardest through it

I'm going to let everything go

And even though you told me I'm close

I'm going to pretend that you never said

Anything at all. I'm going to be ahead

In your games, not going to let myself down

Gonna show up for me like I do for those around

I got this! Stick it though! 

Don't let apathy play a part too

I think I'll be able to do it.
