Very Good

I’m not very good 

at staying in the good 

I coast for two days

and then the thirds not so charming 

I’m not very good at taking a compliment 

Sitting in the space of praise 

makes the count down start

I slow motion implode

sabotaging each good moment 

until 

I 

RUIN 

THEM

ALL

I’m very good at holding onto guilt

Shame could be my middle name

I’ll tell me how I’m wrong

in every tiny detail 

Then I can make sure

I get it right when I tell you

so we can both feel bad

Ring around the rosies 

Pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes

We
all 
fall 
down
