Myopic

Ever been to a county fair

Where all the games are scams?

Now apply what you know

To all the things you don't

Politics and business

Most love, many friendships

Throw until your tendons tear

But those bottles stay weighted

Goodwill then, hard stops

Slow learner gets taught

My teachers tried, my teachers lost

There were principals involved

Mishandled and robbed

They rubbed my feelings raw

But now I've put my glasses on

Brings it all into focus

Slow to hear, late to notice

But now I'm on a constant watch

Cynical, not bitterness

Love my girl and friendships

I forgive all of life's hassles

Flat tires to thieving bosses

Overdrafts to cheating exes

But don't make me remember

If I don't have to

Goodwill then, hard stops

Slow learner gets taught

My teachers tried, my teachers lost

There were principals involved

Mishandled and robbed

They rubbed my feelings raw

But now I've put my glasses on

Apologies

Are a wedding night fling

Sometimes it's best to exit quietly

Apologies

Doesn't quite wash it clean

"Sorry" is a sad and sorry thing
