If Only I Were Smart - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

If only I were smart
I’d insulate my heart
From feelings of stupidity
That happen with rapidity
And done with such lucidity
That it leads to my insanity
Alas ... it’s just idiot me
If only I were strong
I’d keep from going wrong
That happens with such certainty
And frightening regularity
And unrelenting clarity
That it leads to my insanity
Alas ... it’s just idiot me
If only I were rich
I’d find myself a niche
To hide from cold reality
In search of some serenity
Increasing immorality
That it leads to my insanity
Alas ... it’s just idiot me
