Then I see
I see you with your trophies and records.
Then I see myself with potential and barriers.
I see you making the best of what you have,
then I see myself destroying the best of everything.
I see you smiling at the prize,
then I see myself clapping for the same.
I see you walking forward without a halt,
then I hate myself for wishing thorns on your path.
I see you looking at me,
then I imagine you mocking me.
When I close my eyes,
I realize how much of my best I have lost.
I see you, but all I think about is myself.
I envy you because I am full of bitterness.
I might have lost myself somewhere.
I remember being 12 and unafraid.
I remember you, me and a million others being the same.
Then I see myself full of shame.
