I wax and wane
about lack of brain
and how much pain
that causes to myself and others
for me the pain is self-inflicted
as my mind has been constricted
I feel as if I've become addicted
to stupidity
and self-pity
and lack of lucidity
It’s yin and yang
And wayward slang 
That keeps me unsteady 
And not really ready 
For the fallout to come 
Was I so dumb
And myopic 
Or just ironically comic
Or comically ironic
Probably just dumb 
It’s south and north
I’m back and forth 
About what awaits 
At the entrance gates 
To the next phase
Of my latter days 
I fall and rise
It's time to realize
And apologize
For my negativity
And proclivity 
To be a smart ass
For now I seek a clear new path
To escape my own self-loathing wrath
Away from profanity 
Creeping to sanity 
With bursts of humanity
