fourteen seconds to failure.

one.

i'm watching all my friends go by
living the life they want
while i'm forced to stay back and wave goodbye
they go chase their dreams
meanwhile mine rot
eventually i am forgot

the sick girl is never remembered
for she is never good enough
by anyone's standards
she's in pain, she's slow, and often tired
and nobody understands why she can't keep up

now i just lie here
in agonizing pain and so tired
tied up in hospitals
while they get to move forward

i had so many things i wished to do with my life
and now i'm surrounded by pills and my own strife
