I'm a loser

I'm a failure

You laugh at me

I'm a sinner

I cry for you

You dismiss my voice

Even my peers

Dismiss my voice

I gave it my all

Gave it a smile

I was once a king

Of such a powerful thing

I could turn sand into castles

They used to sing my praise

Jesters dancing

Maidens romancing

Then it was all gone

When you sang your song

You laugh at my clothes

As if I have a choice

You tell me I'm a creep

Such a creep

So I took a leap

Now you all love me

Now I am heard

You do not know

My voice is slurred

My vision is blurred

I am such a fake

Hidden behind a mask of lies

Hidden within these eyes

Please don't take

My mask of darkness

I hear the whispers

I feel the hate

You don't know

This is my fate

I smile at your disgust

I laugh at your mistrust

Give me a inch

I'll take it all

And shall I fall

I shall fall

With a smile

I am a loser

I am a failure

You laugh at me

I am a sinner

You are great,
you are one of a kind,
you are better than everyone else
You are unique and refined

and the only reason you said all those things about youreself is because you are special and reverend

I like your style.
You win me over with a smile.
Your up high at least a mile.
Your honest, not a trace of guile.
Damn your poems are good.
