Chosen

I gave everything
to be one of the chosen
maybe that's why 
sometimes I feel like
I've got nothing left
but what if I didn't 
give it everything I had
that would bother me
reliving each failure 
wondering what else
I could've done
knowing that I wasn't 
the best version of myself
I tried to improve
hoping for another chance
only to see those chances
go to the chosen 
what I wouldn't give
to be one of the chosen
now I'm trying to figure out
if I've learned my lesson
best version 
worst version 
does it really matter
maybe all I have to do
is what I should've done
from the start
choose myself
and see what happens
nothing's guaranteed
but if I choose myself
I'll always be one of one
