Doing Left Me in the Lurch

Sometimes things last for a long time before they roll on. Sometimes pieces of life just linger on. Like a guest that I can't wait will be gone. Like a guest who I can't wait to leave. Like a guest I never invited, who dropped by unwanted. 

Sometimes you get stuck in a rut. Feeling like your whole self is a papercut. Feeling like your whole self is fucked up. And how do you make it through these times that press down on you?

I don't know what to do. Doing used to be my go-to. But doing left me in the lurch, along with everything else. Doing left me in the dirt, as did everyone else. 

Sometimes things go on and on, way longer after you wish that they'd be gone, lingering like an uninvited guest. Leaving your house in such a mess. Leaving you in distress.

I don't know what to do, since doing left me in the lurch. I don't know what to do, since doing left me in the dirt. Just like everything else, like everybody else.
