No matter how much I strive, no matter how much I try,
I will always be steps away from being good enough
Disappointment and weariness adorning every step 
Like a tree on the highest peak, I will always long for appreciation
I will be famished but never be filled, thirst but never be quenched
Like a pawn in a game of chess, I don’t have sentimental value
For I am just a drop in the ocean, a part of those who don’t deserve to be praised

From the hilltops they will shout my name
Echoes bouncing from the mountains, almost deafening 
I will make promises and never break a single one
My good deeds will cheer me on from the crowds,
Without hesitation they will still ignore my call
Hand me over the throne, though I don’t look the part I can do it
Like a fantasy I will disappear into thin air, without a heed to my call
I am just a part of those who don’t deserve to lead

Cupid my only hope, where are you hiding?
From edge to edge I have been calling out for you, hoping you would answer
Let the heart break it will heal again, let it taste the warmth of your gift one more time
Strolling around with everything in the world, pleasures bursting from every corner
Fun springing up like an unending tale, wealth caramelizes my life
Though I still long for one thing to finally marinate my life for that burst of sourness
I keep staring in the wind, arms already in formation to welcome you 
My eyes are growing weary, my feet are tired from the waiting
Will you ever grace me with your presence?
Or maybe I am just a part of those who don’t deserve to be loved

Oh hear my cry, oh beloved nation lend me your ears
Heed to my call as I plead my case, as depression oozes from my body
All I ask is for a minute for you to pay undivided attention to my story
The universe is my only witness and my testimony is my Advocate
For once I put all my eggs in one basket, trusting in you to deliver the verdict
I am just a hopeless victim feeding on the crumbs from your morsel of mercy
I stand waiting for your counsel, impetuously you give your final word
Grudgingly I trod back to my haven, tears and sweat being my accomplices
All rise in court and take heed, here’s one of those who don’t deserve justice.
