Alternate Me.

Alternate Me.

I’m struggling, swamped and under stress,
My easy life lived in duress.
I have the tools at my right hand,
Inertia keeps my efforts damned.

I want to change my life’s outcome,
Alternate Me is not a bum.
Alternate Me is happy see,
But he’s not here… I’m left with me.

Each failure spells a negative score,
Alternate’s knocking on the door.
Alternate’s pounding, shouts at me,
He wants a turn, but not likely.

Alternate Me wants to come through,
Cuz then he’ll mean much more to you.
But as I wave this Me away,
He may not come another day.

I’m struggling, swamped and under stress
My easy life lived in duress
Alternate’s gone, I do decree
The only person left here’s me.
