Hotdogs

Sometimes I fell like a hot dog
trapped inside a bun
I need several supports around me
just to be good

I can't relish the good times
whenever they come
My past plays ketchup
no matter how fast I run

I can't ever find the strength
that must be mustard 
I find it hard to escape
the never-ending cluster

So when my friends ask me
"What is wrong"
I simply smile and reply
"Do you know what's in a hot dog?"
