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
