Musical Chairs

I live in a world of musical chairs, Where I’m always the one left standing, When the music stops, And the confusion starts, I’m the only one without a chair I walk with a terminal illness, This is, always being wrong, When the truth comes out, And the lies come in, I’m the only one lying down. I burn with an undying flame, Wanting to be a great person in life, When my mind says yes, And my heart says no, I’m the one left failing in life.
