Slipping

I’m tired of slipping into that slot

I’m in need of an oil change

I want to do this but I should not

I need to be rearranged

So that all the pieces fit

I’m sick and tired of not functioning right

O please, God

Help me

I’m in need of your help

Like I’ve said a thousand times

I’m sorry

I never do a thing right

I’m sick

I’m tired

I need to do this right

I know I’m gonna fail

So I need your help tonight
