Ego Part 3 (Finale)

How can I build a battle,
When I was forced to grow in the dark of your shadow
You can tell me again, all those fancy lines,
So divine,
Whether they were free-verse or rhymed

I don't know the pain of accepting a loss
So distraught,
Everything seems like it was left for naught
Self-taught,
My wisdom can't be sold or bought
Yet everyone follows me,
As if it's their own choice who is taught

I can't see the glass as half empty or full,
I just know that the remedy is a bunch of bull
I lay my head down as I prepare for sleep
But before I get a chance,
Someone please beat me

I'm tired of being lonely
For every chance I get
To spend time with someone else,
They're always placing bets
Give it a rest,
For I can't put everything in my life to the test
All for what, to give you more time to recollect

I grew my ego while I was walking your path
And once you died,
I couldn't help but feel free at last
But what's the use,
For while the past is the past,
The first present is the same,
And I'm in dead last
