Perfection Is Overrated Poem by Joshua McKinney

I am drunk again
Room is spinning and then
I am giving in
I need to do something with my life
But this is just another vice
I write to throw down all the pain
Just traveling in the wrong lane
Guess it's better than going backwards
And for a lack of better words
I am breaking down
Always acting tough, but I cry more than I should
Tried to numb the pain, but I never could
Drugs just made it worse
Honestly, should probably be in a hearse
Ask me why I'm not, I don't know
Motivation is so hard to find
When you feel like you've been left behind
All your classmates are graduating college
All you've got are guts and street knowledge
Just know that it's really not that bad
I'm okay most the time
Ussualy not this sad
This is how I let go of all my fears
Better than holding it in for years
