between the three queens
there's a big competition
to win the king's eye

I bet none of them
will garner his attention
it'll be the ring-in*

on the sidelines
she's been very quietly sitting
watching the others

I'm generally right
in matters pertaining to
*the royal court's ways

Hurray, hurray, my day has come.
I'm celebrating another twenty-one.
How could this year turn any better?
A competition is the big matter!
There can't be hardly any dull,
when commenting becomes my fun.
Enjoy the place, come over here!
Pick me, pick me, my dear!
This would make my day so very great,
even when it's seven days to wait!

locked up in my head
Taking turn to the mirror
I can see a face instead
That has been much clearer
When I was still in my head
When I knew where I was heading

But things happen and things change
I see time floating away
And every cigarette lands in the ashtray
feels like throwing away time of the days
When I am supposed to show gratitude to my dna

We will grow old that is for sure
What I didn’t know that life is still a long, long journey
Roads need to be walked without insecurity
Like an elephant in the jungle
Be kind and stay humble
first learn how to be kind to yourself
because the magic will outgrow
As impressions will get into you
And not soon enough you see that there is nothing in-between how you once were thinking and the person that you’re being

How do I, how do I go back to times like that
When I was still in my head
My head was all mine
No threat to my shine
Now I feel dead
I lied to myself

Fate's killing, taking my life
All of them reasons to despair
Just burden, no reason to strife
Teach me how to disappear

Do you call it life
Had me all going mad
Desires of a caring wife
Pockets just so bad

At death's stake I put my life
Papers, assignments incomplete
Thirsty for a glimpse of triumph
Flawless targets now incomplete

Riding the cycles of life
In the dark wells some of us fall
Stabbed at the end by a knife
Goals we once thought tall

Blades spread over the road of life
Clouds indicating angry storms
Pages torn in my book of life
Travellers don't tend to walk norms

Unimpressed by this unfair life
Remains breath in these cells to strive
Never will I lean on this untrusty life
Venomous are they, bees in this Hive
Alan S Bailey Aug 2017
I have never tried harder in my life
Just to accomplish the so-called "easy,"
This world is so full of hate and violence,
Why can't we ever believe in making things
The way that they are meant to be?

I've been doing the same things for years
I guess I still **** at "easy,"
I guess I wasted all of my years it seems,
Losing so much now, or they just want to
"Easily" overshadow you and me.

I wasn't born this competitive
I was forged
Because they strongest metals
Are forged
In the hottest flames
I still feel
The heat of the forge on my skin
Pushing me
To be better then everyone
Pushing me
To fight unwinnable battles
And sometimes
I make it out alive and stronger
And sometimes
I barely crawl away with my life
So the forge
Fires up again pushing me to hate
And the forge
Makes me resent those who are better
Til I can't stand
Being around them or knowing them
Til I can't stand
Doing something I can't win
So the forge
Turns off and makes quit
So the forge
Crumbles onto me and I'm crushed

I wasn't born this competitive
And this lust for victory
Is what's holding me back
From being the strongest I can be

IN THE GREATEST SINGING COMPETITION OF ALL
AUSTRALIA NOW HAS MADE IT'S MARK
A FAN OF THE COMPETITION
FLASHES HIS *** IN THE DARK


NOT A STREAKER AT THE CRICKET
NOT A *** CRACK AT NIGHT
BUT HE IS DRAPED IN THE FLAG
HIS *** IS SHINING BRIGHT



THIS RECOGNITION WE REALLY DON'T NEED
ONLY WINNING THE CONTEST DID MATTER
BUT A LAD FLASHING HIS ***
DID REALLY START INTERNET CHATTER
EUROVISION SINGING COMPETITION AUSTRALIA GOT RECOGNITION BUT NOT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
