Self Defeatist

You give up at the turning tide, before the war's half over.  You drop out because you don't have the stones to carry on... and I have to trudge through it for the both of us.  And you'll skip through the path I make for you.

Everyone says they don't want someone to solve their problems moments before they lay them at your feet.  People like me have a hard time kicking them back in your faces.

You all jest and forget what I'm really like... and pretend that this "nice guy" thing isn't just a favor I'm doing the rest of you so you don't have to put up with how I really am.  My eyes are still wide open... and every time I see it again, I make a tack mark on your score card.

This is golf... and you're running above par.

Yet that's okay... because it's honest.  I don't tell you what I expect because I know how you play the game... and I'll be damned if I let you go that easy.  I just keep score, and I draw the line... and wait to see if you'll cross it.

It's a line I dance along everyday... and sometimes I just piss on it.

However, hypocrisy being what it is, I find that I can hold you accountable for activities I enjoy everyday.

And that makes life easier for me.
