PORTFOLIO

Beat me to thee punch for today,
Yet ‘morrow begins anew.
While I may be somewhat lazy
I’ll make sure to outperform you.

I refuse to sit here still.
You’ll catch me at night
Makin’ plans to go in for the kill.
For being more successful than you is my birthright.
And no, I don’t really want to fight!

But if that’s what it takes…

Unbeknownst to you,
The beast within awakes.
Craving the gold
Before it gets too old.

Rusted.
Dusted.
Busted.

So now,
Will you wipe that smirk off your face?
You were destined to lose,
That is your fate.

Whereas I am meant to win.
So only I should be wearing a grin.

You’re a fake.
I can see the cracks in your skin.
You’re a wannabe hack.
Living in a world that doesn’t love you back.

Though…
I guess I’m no better,
For we are one.

And none of this really matters,
Anyway.
So, please…
Let’s stop arguing with ourselves about who is truly superior
And, instead, let us spend our time focusing on having fun.

Loving one another,
That should be the goal.
Arguing with each other
Really, it’s not THAT cool.

You cannot escape yourself.
So put that ego where it belongs,
On the shelf,
Behind the mirror you stare so intensely into.
So intensely that you distort your image
Just to fit a narrow view
Of who you think you are, which isn’t truly you.
