Shortcomings

Unlike some, I don't take attention to the little things

I know you know me better than I do 

I see you see through better than, too 

I think often of your skill for the details 

The details you see in me, in which I fail 

To know, to see, to detail, I fail...  

I wish I had the intelligence of my self 

I wish I could see anything but a display on a shelf 

I wish I would think of the detail of it all 

And that, that I know, at least, is my downfall 

To not know, to not see, to not detail, my downfall...
