What the Winners Lose

When you’re being celebrated 
you are being hated 
someone who believes their better 
stood there devastated 
when you are the champion 
all you see’s the challenge come 
everybody wants a piece 
they want to bury you beneath 
they all want to get the better 
now the rankings say their lesser 
it’s a lonely place to hate 
not the glory dreams create
