Flaws

I sabotage my own happiness

and allow myself to sink further

into the already full sea of regrets

I complain that nobody understands

when really, I speak gibberish

and expect them to dissect my meaningless words

I pray to god (that is when I believe in him of course)

and I ask him to guide me

but I don't really try to listen

I focus on the negative

and blame others

when really, it's on me

I really do try to be the best version of myself

I try to fight the depression, and the pain

but sometimes, my flaws shine through

and I become the failure I, myself, made
