Loser

When I was little,

You weren’t there.

You and mom fought,

Till she couldn’t even bare.

All memories; broken and wasted,

Everything you shared.

Mom struggled and urged,

But you just didn’t care.

I guess everything happens for a reason,

Some people just don’t accept the truth.

You’re not worth my time,

All you have given to me was proof.

Life moved on without you,

As you taught us a lesson.

You left me in the dust,

I think you need a therapy session.

I’m just an option,

To you I am nothing.

It seems like all you have learned,

Is what solves your problems is running.

Can you promise me,

That everything will be alright?

Who am I kidding,

You’d go down without a fight.

When I grew up,

You had only gotten worse.

Every time I hear your voice,

All I want to do is curse.

Sure, we’ve had some good times,

But all that is long gone.

All you are now,

Is a laughable con.

I wish you would change,

At least try for me.

Call me up; I’d like to yell,

“JUMP OFF A FORTY-FOOT TREE!”

I hope this isn’t too harsh,

But I doubt if you’d show the least bit of consideration.

Sometimes I wonder,

Are you still on probation?

I bet you think you’re okay,

Just the way you are.

Well you’ve got another thing coming,

I’d wish you away on a shooting star.

Deep down I still love you,

Or who you used to be.

All I ask of you is to ask yourself,

“What do people really see?”
