Their Failure Is Not Your Victory
Your glory is their pain
they fell down in shame
you didn’t fall the same
now gone and you remain
Tell yourself how you’ve survived while they struggle to find the drive
forget the fact that at your crux they helped you when needing luck
overlook the fact you have watched with joy as they nose dive
celebrate the strength you have that pulled through while they destruct
In this moment you stand strong
still stood where you stood before
while they are weak now life’s gone wrong
in this comparison you have more
The victory is yours to claim
celebrate that you’re the same
without improving nothing gained
better because they’re in pain
What do you think you’ve become
what do you think you have done
because they fell you feel you’ve won
your life must be an empty one
But In a minute they’ll stand up
does that mean they’ll move back above
or will you now ensure they’re stuck
keep them down and treat them rough
You do not look good just because someone looks bad
I don’t believe you should feel happy when you see them sad
you probably should help them out after all the help you’ve had
it just proves you are pathetic when they’re suffering makes you glad
