It was never that serious

my screams are mistaken for cheers

you’ve moved the goal posts
again
unfavorable terms, I exist
your maneuvers prove the opposite
of what you believe

I exceeded your expectations

But you’ll still say something like
a poor excuse

it’s not a competition
that’s not what you meant
if only I knew

you’ll say it doesn’t matter

because you’ve already won

like money that doesn’t matter to a rich person

because they already have it

but you’re afraid
if you let anyone else play
let anyone
challenge you for the supremacy
what might happen

you don’t understand
it’s not pie

don’t you understand?
my win is yours
that i could do that
because of you

don’t make me do it
in spite of you
