Deep inside I was glad I was the chosen one
             Outwardly cool, yet within I was frozen,
             It was sudden death match and I have to be bold
             But a teammate did not do as he was told,
             My teammate made the kid squeal like rat
             I watched the opposing kid get pinned in the mat,
             The crowd cheered, the team jumped for joy
             Everyone surrounded the heroic young boy,
             What I really felt was, "It should have been me!"
             Disappointment, anger, looking to blame
             "Did I miss my dream chance at fame?"
             But mine is open, a bottomless hole.
             That never heals, can never be cured
             With endless droplets wiped by hand.
             Wait! Suddenly the horizon brightens
             Hope and fear in my heart heightens.
             The myth of the clouds with the silver lining
             Breaks the spell that was once confining.
             As nature herself answers my cries.
             For he has mended my heart that was torn.
             ...
