Giving Up

I sold my soul for acclaim But now I have to shoulder the blame I did my best to be great Never knowing I was already late Look at these rhymes Just silly chimes in torrid times And mimes putting up walls Even a goat falls I guess I'm a better solo artist Because I'm definitely not the smartest But with my anger awoken I bite my teeth to leave words unspoken I laugh and have no manners So torch my banners And forget I was ever there Heh, as if anyone cared

'I bite my teeth to leave words unspoken' - so evocative, so much of your poetry is about sadness, really touching-
