No Deal

I could sit and groan and moan  

I guess, 

and you would expect


they will expect 

some crying 

 

but I cant and I wont

cause I have better things to do

with something as precious 

as time,

you want me to lay down 

and die

again and again

 

but I wont and cant

because pure stubbornness

drives me to succeed 

you will never get what you want

 

by default maybe 

but not because I let it
