the sportsmanship that
honesty competes often
eludes the cheaters
I've never been the simplest of people,
Never one to instantly conform,
So I tend to struggle with a lot things,
I just don't know where I'm going wrong.
Don't know why I'm so wound up,
Everyday is a constant battle,
Masking whats really happening inside,
Yes, coping mechanisms.
How I manage to carry on,
Eludes me at the best of times,
All I know is i'm constantly battling,
Daily inside my head
