underdog
By HazelBrown
i'm yearning to be lighter
i'm nothing but a worn down exhausted fighter
they say you can be happy or you can be right
why do i have to choose...its the question that keeps me up at night
everyone says you can have it all
no one mentions how much it hurts to fall
everyone loves an underdog
until they start to win
then the online hating and jokes begin
suddenly winning feels more like a sin
the very ones who hyped you up
now judging the success flowing from your cup
i can't win for losing
my guarded heart heard you gossip
i see the petty, hating life you're choosing
finding my stride
enjoying one hell of a ride
lessons learned
on who i can confide
smaller and smaller my circle has become
trusting only a few now
keeps me from coming undone
i'm learning to drown the noises out from my head
i'm not going to stay hidden in the dark
under the covers of my bed
just because of the jealous untrue things you said
you can be happy or you can be right?
that question will no longer keep me up at night
i choose me
