you think I know how things are 

how to use a particular object 

how to be a lady 

and apply the behavior 

sometimes I do things 

with no brain 

I either have spasms in my mind 

or a ghost likes to play mind games 

or maybe I am simply clueless 

to what I attune to 

it could be that I am a zombie 

or I may have had some brain surgery 

in which I wasn't ever informed of 

when it comes time to do whatever 

there is always that one chance 

where I either get it right 

or I fall to the depths of my heart 

when I fall 

I get irritated 

I question my ability 

to accomplish anything 

I know I can do better 

than what I did in front of you 

just now 

but irritation spread quickly 

like a burning wildfire 

the rage in me 

can't withstand the fact 

that I messed up 

and I continued to do so 

what is an accident 

and what is a mistake? 

is there a difference 

between the two 

in which I get faulted for 

I always try to be better 

but success has teeth 

yet bitterness 

has yet to consume me 

I get told 

to do this a certain way 

and I succeed 

but on such days 

I don't 

mistakes are a chain reaction
