It'll Catch On

I'm getting tired of trying to convince myself I'm even trying
I know I'm lying
only gonna work one way 
all or nothing
small price to pay for what's left of my sanity
Unsanitary distractions
On sanitary napkins
Kidnapping politicians next of kin
Done knocking I suggest you let us in
So I can let you out alive
I'm livid living with covid
Opioids help cope with
The anger anxiety and madness
The gracious government 
has been supplying society with all sorts of supplements 
I stuck my stimulus checks in the state lottery
I lost
Stuck in poverty
I washed away my sins
a lot of em left stains
Keeping up isn't practical 
have at it though 
Working too hard is hard on your head
Trading your time for dollars
Pennies fill  holes in your soul
Plans are for pregnant moms and scholars
I got your mom pregnant on purpose
I don't pull out
My only super power
Getting stupid off the flowers
Forgetting little things 
Consumed with the elusive
Probably lose it
Making the realization
You can't catch what you're chasing
You better stretch if you want to grow old gracefully
Growing up feels like its going out of style 
It all adds up after while
My secret is half humor half denial
