self-sabotage
Learn more about other poetry terms
The goalpost is just a kick away
But I can't work my crippling legs
The walk seems close enough
Yet so far,
With all the opponents blocking
I fall and I trip
Fall and I trip again
I used to believe that I was just unlucky,
That someday I would eventually have something great,
But finally, I’ve accepted the truth and its sucky,
My ability to self-sabotage is too great for good things sent my way.
