Cheating
Always second best
Even though I do not rest
You forever seem to beat me
Were you cheating from me?
Do you consider the bleeding emotion of me?
When you steal my work, my life, my everything?
You take upon yourself doubt and power
Do you not cower from the mistake you made?
You are my competitor
You do, see, feel things that are my worsen
Though feel my strengths if I have but one
You will fall before me with a strength you yet not know
I will take back what you stole
My life, my work, my everything
For I will show mercy, where you show none
And give you a life, a masterpiece, a world
Though the other competition is not yet undone
I will find solitude in these words
For hoping you will mind what I have done
And not do again to others, what you have done to me
I see that competition is a beast
And that mercy is a key
To taking upon you what is best for me
