My Cup Poem by Joscelyn Alderdice

I don't know what's going on
Something is completely wrong
Things just don't seem to add up
I'll take a sip from my cup

I want to know the answer
Then I must become an asker
Still things don't add up
Maybe another sip from my cup?

All I know is I've done some bad
I became a down right cad
But still it doesn't add up
How about another sip from my cup


You told me what I needed to know
Even though it hurt me so
Things are beginning to add up
How about no sip from my cup?

I know all the bad I did
All these things I forbid
Things kind of add up
Maybe no sip from my cup?

I'm deeply sorry, can you forgive me?
Even though I made you angry?
Things surely add up
I'll take no sip from my cup
