Lost my soul
In my fight
To live my life
Keep the Soul
The only goal
Forgot to remind
Me every night

I keep hearing
About me from others
No introduction needed
My reputation ahead headed
Innocence lost its battle
Complex convinced it
That it was foolish

Education Job Marriage
Each  a seperate ambition
Every trick learnt
Played at the table
To keep it stable
Only then considered able

Bottom line is wealth
Properties and bank balances
Respect not in self
But how we project ourselves
Playing the part of a dog
Might as well bark
Where do I stand
Goal posts shifted
Conveniently on purpose
Still missing the mark
Price paid as the highest bidder
For many questions still  no answer
