I don’t wanna
go the extra mile.
I’d just as soon
a short cut.
I don’t wanna
spit and shine.
Hit and miss
is good enough.
I don’t wanna
worry about
crossed t’s
and dotted i’s.
Close enough
will work for me.
I don’t wanna
take responsibility
for every nit
there is for me to pick.
Its overwhelming.
I can’t take it.
I don’t wanna
be something I’m not.
Better to confess
my flaws,
than fake it.
