I Lost
I lost
but at what cost
I wrote that poem from my heart
I thought it'd be a great start
to show the ugly side of addiction
I guess I was tripping
but the truth shall be seen
it was already foretold forseen
I should have tried harder
been a little smarter
and maybe I would have won
maybe the next one
because addiction is real
children forced to deal
on there own without a meal
I bet your saying she cant be for real
yet my poem they did not choose
would have never thought I would lose
so again I try
I refuse to cry
ill just go harder
and not play the mauder
the ones chosen were absolutely amazing
this is just me doing a little hating
but still I rise
and one day I will win that prize
