The Unneeded

W. Charlie Martineau, Jr.

Presence unwanted

Still unimportant

Help is unneeded

Lost in the moment

Still just annoying

Still unaware

Reflection unknowing

Of what is fair


Not understanding 


Being unbending


An unintentional


Message I’m sending


Underachievement


Under exhaustion


Undue resentment 


Turned into passion


Until the clock


Unwinds it’s chokehold


I’m unimpressed with 


Time that will unfold


It’s not understated


My unfeeling burden 


My unwanted self


Is unloading to persons


unwitting victims


The ones undeserving


Of undue duress


From my underserving


Why can’t I stop


My unwelcome fight


Until I can see 


An exit from night


It’s underwhelming 


The fight I’m un-fighting


I think my umbrella


Needs better lighting


From under a rock


I’m crawling uncertain


The tick of the clock


Doubts my unburden


It is unlikely


I’ll ever unpack


Or find understanding


Of roads leading back

    This one seems like a pity party, but it’s more than that. It’s about the frustration of letting everyone down even when you are giving life your all.
