The good from the bad
I really can’t discern
It’s all a blur to me
Coagulating into one solid block
Of problems from my past.

I was told it wasn’t smart to play with fire
But I threw myself into the flames anyway
That too much candy was bad for your teeth
But still I munched on until my teeth were no more

That too much caffeine was detrimental to one’s health
And yet I still drank cup after cup of coffee late at night.
That McDonald’s would make you fat
But still I ate on until I bloated into a balloon.

That television series that I couldn’t stop watching
It was just too damn addicting
That game that was so enticing
I always said to myself, just one more.

That pizza, OMG, was just too delicious
I just kept on eating, slice after slice
That beer, just too intoxicating
I couldn’t stop myself from the next can.

And now, here I am, standing outside of the door
Wondering, why couldn’t I stop?
And now it’s too late for me to get help
All my doors of opportunity have closed for good.
