Ought Not

Sometimes life seems senseless,

Don’t bring up your troubles to me,

I have enough to deal with.

No ‘give and take’ to be.

 

I’d say don’t let me go,

But it seems you already have.

Steady your hand like so,

I promise it won’t be bad.

 

Let me go and live on,

Stop moving me back and forth.

I've got a lot going on,

No time to deal with this torch.

 

You've almost made it there,

Loosen your lights and leave.

I don’t get why you’re in a place where

You ought not to be.
