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
