Stolen Spotlight

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Just once I wanted to be the best stand out for my excellence When all I could do is fail I became known for my malevolence I tried and tried but could never suceed confidence and hope are dangerous all they do is mislead CHORUS You think you’re on top of the world then it all comes crashing down You think you’re on top of the world then it all comes crashing down You realize you’re not important your life is just scenary to greater things your friends Second string in a sport 89 on a test no matter what I’m always second best this wanting makes me incomplete creates a yearning inside thinking I’m not good enough it makes me want to hide CHORUS posing in someone’s shadow standing in their spotlight I want to be on top of the mountain but it doesnt matter how hard I fight everyone overlooks me they’re too dazzled by my so called friends they dont realize they flaunt their superiority sustaining the invisability I want to end CHORUS my world is crashing down ringing in my ears I want to be seperate I want to be noticed I want I want I want I’m still wanting Written February 6th, 2002 © on Feb 06 2002 12:02 PM PST   20 • 0 • 1
