Constant Contestant


Would you like to play a game where you win a grand, grand prize? Follow these scenarios and decide. Now, close your eyes - Choke on your lunch - Forget everything for a day - Run across the entire school (it’s a hunch) - Walk a mile without a jacket in the rain - Listen to a song 567 times in a row - Hold in your frustration for three years - Feel like a clown in a show - Shed many bitter tears - Spend your life’s savings to increase your chances - Surrender your heart and mind - Risk dangerous feats and circumstances - Feel as if you are always running out of time - Remember a thing of childhood - Remember a thing of worth - Remember there are better things that could be used on such spirit and girth - Have paranoia at every hour, as if the world were about to end - Melt in yourself and cower at the attempts to mend Now open your eyes and know that this be true, love All of these things I have done for you
