Seven-ten split

"You're destined for big things" she said,
The things I've done, the books I've read,
but undeserving hardships stall my dreams.

I'm the furthest I could be from bliss,
I was made for bigger things than this.
Inside, ambition's bursting at the seems.

(But I know) Everything will be alright.
(I'll just wait) I know my time will come.
(I'll do my best) I won't go without a fight.
This is not a song about bowling.

And I don't care what you say,
You're by my side or in my way.
And I don't want your F***ing sympathy.

I just think a guy like me,
Should get through life quite easily,
No long-awaited opportunities.
