Now When I need it Most

Im nothing but a shadow,

A forgotten dream,

A mindless bufoon.

Always tripping over my words,

No special skills,

An endless list of wills, not to many won'ts.

Ill do almost anything,

They loved me for who I was, now they hate for who I am.

I have'nt changed, they have.

No longer is self sufficiency a good skill,

Now when I need it most.



They used to walk all over me so I grew up,

Now they look down on me,

Can’t stand someone better than them,

They used to write, so I learned and now they don’t.

They read romance novels, I won't.

They simply cant stand my skills.

They thought they knew how to survive in the woods.

I live in the woods.*

They know when to quit.

I won't, not if I get hit.

They hate me for my skills.

No longer is self sufficiency a good skill.

Not when I need it most.



They thought a mile was a lot,

So I ran two.

They ran two and a half,

I ran three.

They quit they’re, I didn’t.

Now they hate my athleticism,

They may have wisdom from they're years.

I got more with my ears.

They finally gave up and started sprouting tears.

After 16 years of going I quit.

Now that self sufficiency is a good thing.

now that im no longer getting hit

Now that I need it most.





* using living as a term to enjoying your survival,/existence.

and woods as just a term of the forests and not civilization.
