She Can't Win for Losing (Poem from Jul 2, 2008)

She'll always wonder about what never was,
But won't have to wonder what could've been.
She was tired of always trying to push and shove,
And wondering if she would ever win.

But she can't win for losing.
She gains all she's ever wanted.
But loses everything she's known.

Why does life have to be like this?
Why does she have to give and take?
When will people except her wishes?
When will her heart no longer break?

Cause she can't win for losing.
She gains all she's ever wanted.
But loses everything she's known.

Inside, she's fading,
While at the same time growing.
She's tired of being so jaded,
And tired of simply not knowing.

And she can't win for losing.
She gains all she's ever wanted.
But loses everything she's ever known.

And she cries inside
And she smiles.
She doesn't know if she wants to hide,
Nor if she's going to be happy for a while.

Because she can't win for losing.
She gains all she's ever wanted.
But loses everything she's ever known.

But she is really happy.
Only homesick for family.
Although she can't win for losing.
She gains all she's ever wanted.
But loses everything she's ever known.
