Next Contestant

by Alexandra Jade Brewer   Mar 14, 2008


What is this, some game?
To see who can last longer
Because I'm not in it to win
I know your stronger

You will always devour me
Make me feel smaller
Tear down my walls, make me weak
Can anyone hear me shout scream and holler

Nothing will ever change
You and I will always clash
The bull and the ram head on head
Till one makes there final dash

The dash will be brutal
But because I am weaker
Verbally, physically, and emotionally
You will be the last speaker

As I sit broken from defeat
Listen to my last word
Go find your next contestant
I give up on being heard.

    There are no real winners in this type of contest...although the 'stronger' one may claim victory at some point. The true winner is the 'weaker' one who has the courage to walk away before it's 'game over' forever! Sadly too many don't find that courage in time. I'm glad to see you've learned this lesson at a young age...thanks for sharing it for others to learn from too :)
