Bryan Alexander - failure (there is no positive here)

I exist
on xanax and beer
poorly written verse
and a little bit of fear
of the greatness
that once lived inside
of me dying
but Im too scared or stupid
to stop trying
the lies i told myself
could fill a small library
consult your dictionary
for a definition of failure
open the book look it up
and you will find my face there
