It's easy to decline
flaky friends of mine
I merely need to say
"come by anytime"
They often say "okay"
and despite keeping them away
I don't think they catch
my little play
So months and years pass
and excuses amass
though it's plain to me
I was never a priority

[As with several other posts, this is actually from ~ the future ~ (January 2025). I've buried it in the past so my whining is not at the top of the timeline. Also I'm not drunk, but wish I were, if anyone got caught up on that tag.]
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." Am I worth it? No, I suspect not.
I'm not sure how many times I have to be taught this lesson, but apparently it must be smacked into me a few more times. A few memorable homework assignments are Fuck Hope from 2013 and Backup Dick from 2018 (also hidden, to appear in 2016). Will the lesson stick this time? Probably not.
