The gnawing squeeze of restlessness
Grips tight like ice on my chest
Deflated this time, no air, no power
Shown to be weak, tested and failed
Just like I was warned, a lowlife
Greatly missed my chance to figure out
What it is that could make me my best
No chance in sight to claim greatness
It's anywhere I'll hang
Never on a different pike
Claiming independence where I have none
