The poem seems a bit clunky to me--with cuss words thrown in for a "gritty" effect. The first two lines indicate that the inadequacy of capturing the biographical "truths" of the speaker's life was initiated by the speaker in the first place. So the complaint of the poem, for this reader, seems less valid because the speaker brings it on him/herself. Maybe I'm missing something, but is this poem arched for arched's sake?
