What ever you rehearse you do well

Woe is me
 
Don’t tread upon my grey suede shoe,
you know it causes pain,
You did it on the 4th of May,
my foot has never been the same.

Don’t test my ego with your words,
I’ll never pass the test,
It happens to me all the time.
they’ve given it their best,

Why does life always seem to beunfair, 
for harmless folk like me.
This world is like a den of lions.
about to drag me in their lair. 

If life was just a one act play,
I’d get the part on every day.
To know the script from back to front,
well up on every verse.
Life always works against me,
as long as I rehearse.
