Now I wonder what to do,
Since I lost the fight.
What disappeared from my eyes?
Oh, was that the light?
I tried my best; I thought I’d win,
So tell me what occurred?
They told me no, and sent me out;
I’m far from assured.
This meant the world to me,
And yet I didn’t win.
I didn’t sing the song THEY chose,
Oh, was that a sin?
Now I find my makeup smudged,
Dark lines have appeared..
Does this show that
I just faced what I most feared?
Was I not good enough? didn’t I try?
What did I do wrong?
I thought I did rather well..
They judged my sad, sad song!
I don’t know what to do,
I’m feeling rather crushed..
Why don’t they understand,
The joy that they just shushed?
I give up; I let in.
Do what you wish.
I no longer have the pride,
TO CONTINUE ON.
