Gamble
The floor was wet
With my debt
I couldn’t handle another bet
All because of that stupid dare
As my punishment, I was forced outside
And damn, I really cried
I hoped they just died
That was until a saw a bear
I screamed like a baby
Why did a say maybe
Why couldn’t I just be lazy
This is why I should bring a flare
Before I could die
I was saved by a guy
He was cute, but I was too scared to say “hi”
I wish I had just sat in my chair
