What makes a loser?

I am what might be called a loser. This is not because I am stupid or lacking in talent. On the contrary, I am what you would call precocious as a child having been gifted with musical talent that turn people's heads. Combine that with a sharp mind which easily grasps things and concepts and ideas and lessons and I would say that I have a combination which should make me a sure-fire winner.

Like I said, brains was not the issue. I would stand out just on this basis alone. Combine that with the sweetest voice that would put a nightingale to shame and you have a formula for a heart-breaker-in-waiting. So, what is this discussion all about? Did I not get honors in class? Was I shy and nerdy? Not really. I would figure in school bus fights being both aggressive and easily goaded into fighting.
