“Gameshow”

Troubles – I’ve got troubles so.
Like the pressure that you feel on a gameshow.
A million people watching, waiting for you to go
Time to fail again.

When it seems you are a winner,
Turns out you’ve been a sinner,
Eventually, you wish for the winter.
Time to Fall again.

($)But it’s different when you’re there,
It’s different with an audience…
…someone screaming on the other side.
But I could not hear.

Spinning all my wheels, praying for some sympathy
Buzzers and applause ring with jealousy
Who will commit to an apology?
Live that lie

Something’s wrong, this should not be a competition,
Just for fun, or just for the attention…
A lottery for my dignity! With positive intentions,
But it seems like a lose every time.
