Lost Hope

Twa months and mair wi' no' a word
The Herald's sayin' nothin' tae me
Yon poetry prize ah was gonna win
Ah've nae chance noo ah see

Ah should ha'e kent ah was oot ma depth
Ah'm nae a meester o' wurds ye ken
Struggle stringin' a sen'ence thegither
Nae wunner, ah'm only ten

Huh ah fooled ye there ah did
Ah'm ten an' a wheen more years
There's only yin fool an' ah'm the yin
Ah aye end in burns o' tears

Ah wanna be guid, sae very very guid
Sae much ah truly believe
But reality bites me oan ma erse
Nae talent, ah aye'ways grieve

Ah should gie up my dreamin' thochts
Fur doon an doon ah sink
Ah'm jist an or'nary stupit loon
Aye in trouble when ah think
