Enemies

Do you measure up to the standard
And will not be standing there stranded

Even if you measure up
Will you be able to take your sup

They will change the goal posts 
So the goal will be further than most

And the smirk on their face
Will make you hide you face in disgrace

But know in the end of it all
You’ll be better off watching their fall.
