A Risk For Standing In Line

A Risk For Standing In Line
By: Tyler Ross

sometimes when I look outside
my life seems all so plain
I live a lonely life
in a world viewing the rain
the window's turning black
and losing all its use
where I used to sit
and reflect my own youth

promises to keep
but failure fell right through
in your world of ignorance
passing on the true
not so special when standing in line
I thought I was important
but all was a lie

a knight in shining armor
but you don't know what that means
you keep multiples for
each and every thing
cancel all your appointments
or lose the (one) chance you got
you stuck with a mind of greed
just to throw away my spot

my heads down
sinking less than yesterday
it hurts so much
from the words that I say
more than a loser
I'm the worst pick in history
a smile and a heart
but no chance for me

hungry and lost
love becomes a myth
I don't have any recognition
what's my gift?
what does it take
to catch your eyes?
a lifestyle of looks, trends, and quick replies

a knight in shining armor
but you don't know what that means
you keep multiples for
each and every thing
cancel all your appointments
or lose the (one) chance you got
you stuck with a mind of greed
just to throw away my spot
