The Script

Am I a pawn a pawn in a game of chess for someone unseen or a lowly character in an ill-written play with no rules Nothin', nothin' seems to be going right as right could ever be rightfully justified Who's in charge of the script For once I am the underdog the underdog who finally won Obtaining a goal something I've been chasing since the day I was born: popularity, great friends maybe something a little more my favorite and only spot on the corner of Manchester and Jackson where I sit in patience meditation, resisting movement a poor role a poor role indeed What happened with my closed What happened to my character to find myself awaken in my house back in my house on the floor of my room the tv blazing static with the door closed and a bizarre message taped to my chest I've read and read the script this can't be the part meant for me to be the underdog turned winner to succumb to amnesia and fall back down the ladder Who wrote this ill-fated masterpiece it's bolderdash Who's in charge of this ill-written script titled Walk Alone?
