Sometimes they say,
"You don't have to try so hard"

I say,
"Then do I just give it all away?"

I don't have much,
But I have the world.

I suffer,
But there are starving children in Africa and India
And even here in America.

So why do I keep losing my chances
At redemption?

What am I even redeeming?
What reward do I take?

I've run out of chances,
So I win none.

But what is a win,
When I never really had ONE?
