Dear Best Friend
How could you ignore me like that?
how could you forget me?
after all we've ever been,
is this enough to part us?
I'm not saying you can't have your way,
but to me, this isn't fair!
this mere talk leaves me with mist,
we could've parted, but not like this!
simply because I was better?
you, claim I was shading you
I, was why you weren't noticed?
That you'd never rise to your goals?
really you'd lose me out of jealousy,
out of envy, out of petty excuses,
Is it in my fault I'm better?
are you blaming me for my success?
You preferred me in the gutter, I suppose,
for that's my final conclusion,
I thought we were together!
with bond and no end!
I thought not were we rivals,
weren't we supposed to be best friends?
then why, are you treating me,
As one would with an arch nemesis,
making Me step back lest hurt,
Step back out of fear,
who told you I was going to sneer?
Or go around, treat you with jeer?
I'm better than that, smarter and greater,
I'm your best friend!
