I Can't Cliché
I'm Failing at Life!
I try wearing the shoe, but I botch it.
The pot boils, though I carefully watch it.
The fish in the sea
Are too few for me
And I'm up early, but haven't caught shit!

I couldn't help myself. I hope the references aren't too subtle. Thanks for reading another one!

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
