Just Where I Belong

I have really done it this time.
I failed miserably.
I couldnt have done it without all of you.
really,
this is great.

"This whole losing thing's gettin' pretty old."
I said as if someone was listening,
I was slumped over in my old gray car,
my head resting in my hands,
Thinking about all of the people i have let down,
and the look on their faces when i did.

It's only a matter of time, I thought.
before the earth swallows me up and takes me
home
to the fire below.
just where I belong.
