    Lightbulb Loser

    I feel lost and have no energy,
    I feel lazy and have no integrity,
    I find that having no life and
    having no reason, is the place
    of this season,

    For times look uncertain,
    and hope is failing,
    I wish I could find some peace,
    with success as my guide,
    and some money to buy a cause,

    For life is leaving and I am just
    drifting, far away into space,
    Praying for some strength at the
    right time and place.

    I will become successful someday,
    I'll take a chance, for being a loser
    has no way and has no time to play.

    Sorry, I cannot understand it well. Does it tell the ambiguity of your sense toward life?

    i really like this line:

    "and some money to buy a cause"

    i find that both cynical and insightful, if that is possible.

    why do i feel it's too optimistic again, even if i do understand the feeling very well?
    dead on the inside, i've got nothing to prove
    keep me alive and give me something to lose

    "I will become successful someday,
    I'll take a chance..."

    Because of that. Maybe too optimistic for the two of us to relate to, but she's clearly a very optimistic person.

    Jasmine -- I really like the structure of this one. It flows beautifully, and there's a lot of strength in the lines.
    If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall.

    No em, it's not that... it is clearly optimistic but it's not that, even the rest... hey, what about some blood, death, hopelessness, floods of tears and suicidal thoughts? : (kidding of course )

    Hey......optimistic is just who I am, but more so a big believer in wisdom
    and truth! I am a very spiritual person, and anyone who tries to take that
    away from me, will not have very long to live! (Wisdom and truth are my
    freedoms)

    There's definitely nothing wrong with optimism.

    Same here. I was an unbearably perky child.

    i second your "eh ", As.
    seems like an inherent contradiction, no?
