You tell em the news
The bad news
Well, it's bad for me
but not for you
My stomach drops
to all new lows
It's at the bottom
of Mariana's trench
I'm shocked
I'm numb
I've lost every single ounce of my strength
I don't want to
But it's not my choice
I guess I'm not allowed
to make decisions anymore

&quot;Here&#039;s the real truth. There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me? We&#039;re exceptional.&quot; <br /> - Green Goblin. :)

this is really good! The only linve I felt a bit awkward is the following: "It's at the bottom/of Mariana's trench" Perhaps that's just me but it didn't sounds as nice as the rest of the poem. Other than that one line I really liked it. :)
