What’s a life with no hits, just misses?
missed my dreams time after time
struggled to survive life’s meaningless grind
no broadsheet headlines with my name
missed my one shot for fortune and fame
always settled for less, a bouquet of flops
too timid to scale those high mountain tops
never found a river that flowed just right
constantly dragged down by an ebbing tide
a malcontent in a life misspent
stuck on a journey without an end
