Analysis of Can I Win

Abigail Roberts 1984 (Great Falls Montana)



Got me entering this contest
Maybe for recognition
Maybe for the cash
Put me on blast
To see if Im a good enough poet
And I didn't even know it
Listening to Rihanna
Talking record labels with LaKota
Is she my competition I don't know
No time to think my turn to go
