Obviously Helpless

Oh that's simple! Wait...

No I'm wrong, must be a simple mistake

ok ok, I'll just start with a clean slate

here, before I start I'll take a break

Ok, break over, let's get back to work

I'll take that first error with a grain of salt

But if I get it wrong this time, I might go beserk!

At this point, I don't even think it's me thats at fault!

Ugh, that's not right either!

Everyone else is getting it so easlily

"Oh it's so simple, just do it, you'll get it"

Bah! Yes I know it's simple, but I'm obviously missing something!

"Dude, just do this"

Are. you. serious. That's it?!

I knew how to do that...

I've done it ten times at least!

This always happens, I'm getting sick of it.

Any problems in my plans seem to have some trick up their sleave

that turn me upside down trying to solve 

when I know its so easily done!

It's symbolic, I swear

I know something is simple

I know when I finally figure it out I'll feel stupid

And it always happens.

It's always a matter of "Can I solve this problem?"

I feel like I can't so I ask for help

Then their solution just blows me away

It's not ingenious, it's just demeaning to me.
