Michael Wise Poet Rhyme

Lovers, Loners and Losers

Lovers are the men that every woman wants
and that every man wants to be
In the movies, he's the one who gets the girl
and the rest are just men like me

Loners are the guys who go their own way
and solitude is their best friend
They're at home with the quiet stillness of life
and have nothing to prove in the end

Losers are the ones with fearful minds
and secrets they dread to reveal
They tried and they failed and forever after
their failures they fight to conceal

It takes a wise man to know his place
and to live well in his own lane
For pretending to be anything else
he has little or nothing to gain

This is not to say that a man cannot change
nor improve himself or his lot
But he should be at peace with each step right now
for right now is all that he's got
