Analysis of Forgotten Cake



Im crumbling
Just like old cake

Maybe it’s my destiny
Or just fate
To end up alone;
Abandoned to break

I did this to myself
Only I can take the blame
No matter what I change
The outcome will be the same

I played the game
But never won
Scared to face the truth
I chose to run

Was it smart?
Probably not
But I made my decision
And I won’t be caught

I could admit my mistakes
But I think it’s too late
I missed my opportunity
To be someone great

So I’ll sit
And I’ll wait
Until I crumble
Like forgotten cake
