failed fifteen
(poem / 2008)
Fifteen years and habits form
Lightning pops and songs can break
I am the one who caused this storm
Fifteen more years and hearts still ache
To be at fault is to give in
or so life's competitions teach
To win! to fight! to go down struggling
that's all my mind can seem to reach
That word called "sorry" never matters
(at least not following "goodbye")
I'm sick of following these patterns
It's too clichéd to turn back time
What happens when a winner loses?
The game just never goes away
For what my confidence refuses
I can't deny, I'm scared to pray
