A second attempt at "Give It 100!" , since the first one ("100" ) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.
These are just rough sketches and ideas that are barely a little more rounded-out...they're not perfect but they're gonna be good enough to share here at least. Your comments, support, and words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated!
Ooh, I feel like this is full of potential, but somehow unfinished. I really like the first half, up to 'with an all-knowing smirk'. After that it loses me a little I think.
Everyone's got an opinion when things've gone to hell.
The woodwork is full of people waiting to remind you
that everything is your fault and you fucked it up.
You could write a bible's worth of good deeds
and all that's ever gonna come up at the mention
of your name is the one minor sin that broke
the backs of the world you were kind enough to share.
The stone on your grave won't even bear more
than just an etching of an anchor through the bottom
of a boat that sank a practically fictional community
housing adulterers, drunks, felons, priests, and politicians,
who care only about themselves and what you could give them.
But you're not them. You're an afterthought
until somebody needs someone else to blame.
The villains always win in the end, even when all is lost.
