Third Party Observer

“He gave up,” James says.
“His heart wasn’t in it.”
I’m just an observer here.
I’m just an interested third party.
I only know what I see
on television.

“If his heart was in it,”
he says, “he woulda told us,
‘Look, I can’t do it.'”
In other words,
if his heart would have
been in… he would have
given up sooner?

Fortunately, no one is around
To hear James say this.
We would have been able to hear
Their uproarious laughter.-Jess from Pennsylvania (search phrase “everything happens for a reason”)
