Bitter Truth

it will chew you up and spit you out
then sit courtside and watch as you stomp 
and pout

make no mistake it's a dog-eat-dog world
that vicious growl with tightened jaws will get
stronger when dreams try to unfurl

bitter... so bitter... just so bitter
maybe this explains the countless number of
quitters

but out there, believe it or not, there is sweet love. 
somewhere
you just have to find it, SO ZOOM,  but know that the search
can be bitterly unfair
