New Somebody

you are lost in your own facade,
to perish in what little self respect you have.
you are no ones hero,
just another sorry fellow who lost in the game.
you took the short cuts,
never really tried for anyone.
lost the bet you pushed in front of you,
you cheated your way through it.
just tell me when you are going back to your old self.
and i'll be right by your side.
