I Was Once Told

I was once told
That if I was bold

I could hold

The world in my hand

But I was lost

Once forgot

And for this cost

I'm sinking in sand

______

I was once told

That if I was brave

I could save

Every human being

But i was wrong

And have become

One of those

Who are clinging

______

I was once told

That if I believed

I could achieve

Most anything

But I was scorned

Becoming torn

From any form

Of my beliefs

______

I was once told

That if I was best

I could confess

My great actions

But I was worse

Someone diverse

Almost a curse

No satisfaction
