I could’ve been a contender; br I could‘ve been a conqueror, br Instead of a bum, which is what I am. br br I could’ve been a participant; br I could’ve been a successor, br Instead of a crumb, which is what I am. br br I could’ve declared my love; br I could’ve been her fevourite, br Instead of dumb, which is what I am. br br Let me be what I am now br As no regrets would make me good, br Instead regrets may damage me. br br What I would’ve been weigh me br More than what I had been. br 21.07.2008br br Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.
