loser

by Antwan Fields - Aries

all the times that ive been the man in the box
ive been regarded as waste and left in disgrace
and now the word is loser
i get tired of that
im not a loser! never have been! don't want to be!
i don't choke on the splinters, through freezing cold winters, time alone is time with the dead mr.carbone
i am not a loser, a lame, those words are the same
and i may be gay but news flash: i don't flame
i walk into your homes with a smile and i become your friend
i yearn for our friendship never to end
but i realize if im stupid and make a move 
it won't help me, and it won't behoove
lie on the beach with time on my hands
my psyche snapping like used rubber bands
and i am the man in the box, credibility taking a hit
shove my nose into pigeon shit
and i realize as i see the police cruiser up ahead
i don't want to be a loser, and i don't want to be dead.
