I thought, I might have potential,

I dreamed of doing great things,

I used to believe I would attain my goals,

I was convinced I’d reach the stars,

I thought true happiness was just around the corner,

Tell me, how could I have been so wrong,

The melody seems to be off a beat,

The words no longer make sense,

I think I have forgotten how to laugh,

I’ve pondered over why; I feel this way,

And realized these feelings coincide with you,

You make me feel….less then I am.
