You Again [en]

Oh hai
It’s you again
I thought I’d dealt with you
Written your ugly face into oblivion

I know, I did too much
Yesterday
I was happy to finally do things
That had been nagging at me for months

OK, I didn’t do what was planned
But hey
I did do stuff
That needed to be done

So I guess it’s my fault
Isn’t it
I should have known better
I should have done less

I should have known
That I’d pay today
And forced myself

To stop, to rest, to stick to the plan
Exciting plan of course
Taxes

And today I’m useless
Headache in the background
Shopping carts full to the brim
With colourful jigsaw puzzles I covet

I’m working tomorrow
I need to recover
I could use sympathy, you know
Or maybe even congratulations

For not hitting « buy »
For getting the message when I woke up
For not trying to push myself
For writing off the day

My taxes can wait
They’re already late
Let me off the hook for once

« It’s your fault it’s your fault it’s your fault »

Why can’t you just hear
That this is the bug in my programming
I’m looking for workarounds
But you don’t seem to care

You just keep showing up, Guilt
I won’t call you my friend
Though you and I
Are well acquainted

Be gone with you!
I’m fed up and tired
Go take a hike
Without me of course

To the end of the trail
That leads off the cliffs
I can tell you for sure
That you won’t be missed
