She left me used and worthless like a scratched lotto ticket
A loser on the asphalt
Uncovered in haste
And discarded with prizes unrevealed
Others come and pick me up
But the damage is done
Exposed as unwanted
I fall to ground
Again and again

Nice metaphor-it reminded me of Anya's comparison in "You remind me of it everyday."

Good Job, I like to see you trying new things, because you have so much talent!

Sounds like rejection at it's worst.
Life sucks like that sometimes.
This didn't strike me the same as some of your other work, but it was still descriptive and well penned. Nice job Kevin.
