saddest thing in life is wasted talent

saddest thing in life is wasted talent

seems to be the story of those that have potential 

but never made it because of

poor decisions

getting involved with the wrong crowd

who claim to know what's in your best interest

but all they care about is what's in your wallet

but if you keep squandering away all your achievements

because you decide to fit in 

rather than standing out

the only thing that's left

is memories of not what you accomplish

but a remebrance of what you did on that tragic night

that left you in handcuffs

or even dead in a blink of an eye

no questions asked

it's not as if you weren't told

listen to those angellic voices of wisdom

that spreads truth to your ignorant ears

everybody is your friend

when you become a mega star

its when you go through setbacks

will they still be there

if you don't want to listen to anybody else

at least listen when i say

the saddest thing in life is wasted talent

the choices you make will shape your life forever

Great stuff man, its so true how people seem to crowd around you when your something or when they believe they can get something from you. But see when people crowd around me, all they get is wisdom; that's worth more than money these days. They come wanting for something and they leave with the intentions of asking all the right questions for all the right reasons.
