sorry if theres any mistakes in this or w/e im in a hurry....late for a weddin   *hugs* thanx o and btw did i spell losing right?


You finally lost the battle
You struggled for so long
Spent years trying to defeat
Something more powerful then you

You fooled yourself into thinking
YOu had gained a foot hold
Then you  lost your grip
And sunk down deeper then before

You played the game very well
Better tehn anyone else had
You realized that to win
you have to lose

For no one can escape the grasp of death


“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

"u say i only here wut i want too..."

"You realized that to win

I liked those lines the best.  Great piece.

It's not the fight that matters, but how life is lived before it eventually comes.  very emotional piece.  thanks for sharing

This was nice. I enjoyed it tiff!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
