Crisis of Confidence

This last crisis of confidence,
Hit me like a ton of bricks,
At work and home, they don't think I'm $#!+,
My work is never good enough,
Plus my life at home sucks,
Maybe everyone is right and I'm simply not good enough,
I give my best toward love and my career,
But it's not enough I fear,
The only thing I do well is fail,
My good intentions became bricks in a path to hell,
Turning 40 and life's not going well,
I'm supposed to be at my prime,
But I keep f@#$ing up all the time,
Never get the benefit of doubt,
On my second strike, one more mistake and I strike out,
Wish there was a button to reset,
And everyone could just forget,
Or remember when life was a piece of cake,
But all that remains is the pressure to not make another mistake,
Why can't I be better?
