I'm telling you what I want
I'm telling you what I need
I'm telling you
What I want to see
What I want to be
Everything

I want to be compared
With what's thrown at me
I'm telling you
I'm going to succeed
Nothing can stop me
I'm everything I want to be

Whatever life throws at me
Will be obliterated
As I stand up to what I fear
Nothing will stop me
From succeeding again

I'm telling you
I cannot lose
Success is in my view
This pointless life
Is ending soon
As I reach for the life
I was denied before
The life I wanted
For so long

I'm no longer
Losing to life
I'm not losing
To what's inside
I fought to win
A better life [comments] => 2 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Losing to Life

As I reach for the life

I'm no longer
Losing to life
I'm not losing
To what's inside
I fought to win
A better life
