Dont Be Mad You Cant Be Me

I rhyme for delight not bragging rights
don't be mad you don't match my light
claim the best I suggest practice
light yourself on fire like a book of matches
not many can match this, words so attractive
mind so active, holiest of passage
perfection poignant, I push prowess
posers prove positions powerless
outstanding outside your little boxes
squares far from fair, comparing 
Wolves to foxes
only this is no contest, i just contest
how far fetched people are out of touch
from their own conscience, how grotesque
I have more to learn, opportunities now
display my heart, impunity foul
expect responses when others fall short
who can only try their least to retort
jealousy, anger, but they deny its true
If I were you, working on me is what I'd do
but thanks enough, my thought will stretch
To test claims above the rest until my death
poems for battle, love, or common sense
problem is I am sure it's as far as it gets
so stay deep like puddles, or thimbles
life can get complicated, why not keep it simple?
cheesey like pizza, or green bay's symbol
amounts of effort put in couldn't fill dimples
as long as you feel good about whats been said
be amazing as you want, all in your head
