Is it me?

Abecedarian Vocal Challenge No.1

Is it me?

As I said,

Baby, I

Can’t see myself

Doing anything right with this,

Even when I

Feel like it’s all

Going well.

How can

I tell if it’s

Joy or the urge to

Kill me that

Leaves you with that look?

My best plans

Never work

Out well.

People change,

Quit,

Realize who they

Should be with,

Take a step back…

Understand me. I am

Very clearly too much

Work for anyone…

XX

You get my kisses

(Zero to two for you).

Time to go...

    Bad boy vibes shining through, Yet we propel ourselves to the bad ones. Then we get this vibe swinging back to us. Oh what a merry-go-round we constantly ride. Great poetry sir.

  • We speak the same language of relationships it would appear, Kendall.

  • "It's not me, it's you" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love how you made the X into kisses. That was very creative. Loved your Abecedarian!

    I'd say that sums up many relationships.
