I stand alone, no friends but foes
I eagerly stand in a corner on my toes
Listening, waiting and full of patience
Not because I'm such, but because I've learnt from life
Finally, life's gotten to me and I'm broken
Broken because I've given my all and none have I gotten
Loved and gave so much without holding back
All my care and affection have been tossed in my face
I stand dejected, like an adult who's wet his pants publicly
Tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth,
Words have failed me for I know I've failed myself
Trusting and urging everyone while I unknowingly lost myself
Now I'm left with nothing but regrets and pain
Green cards and cameras flashing in the faces of those I've inspired
No pang of jealousy in me, neither have I sown the seed of envy
But I just wished I'd invested the excess energy I've given in myself.
