It's so funny how it seems like everytime I tell you that I am doing something, you are suddenly doing it too,
But the only difference is that everytime you start something, you never seem to see it through.
Ya Know I've Heard It Said By Older Heads...
COMPETITION Is Part of Human STRENGTH... !!!
I'm sure you've heard of Athena vs. Arachne
The infamous rivalry and it's kind of wacky
If you have or haven't make sure to keep reading
This story is nothing like you've been believing
No more swooshes on black bands
a powerful woman, once forgotten
she is feared by men of all lands
Srong, glowing, winner
fast, competitive, sinner
VICTORY emblazoned on her back
25 yards, at age 10
At 11, 50 yards
Now at age 18 I am going 1650 yards in one race
An average man can go 3 days without water,
It's like
they ask you to play a video game
and you're expected to win.
You try your best, but there's a
ball of wool
in front of the screen.
Occasionally your fingers go numb
life is, life is, and love is not,
as love is just a viri plot,
that hits the brain and blinds the eyes,
to which the ugly looks, like nice,
I found my real friends
Marketed an iPad app
And stressed for college.
(What's new?)
I love the beast hidden within me,
sneakily behind these quiet eyes,
only unleased
when it is time to unwind
with a good ol' game
of air hockey.
The two shiny quarters in my palm
What's the point of a thought if all you do is yell?
I can't even hear myself think
I don't like the song the cupboards make
Can you stop making life sound like hell?
Every relationship has its ups and downs right?
Right?
And the ups can match the downs hell,
the downs can outnumber the ups
as long as one truth remains, that we exist better
Together.
it's hard to believe i'm ***FLAWLESS sometimes
but looking at the evidence, who can deny?
with the way syncopated drum rhythms wrap around my head like a crown
Will I be good enough to take a narrow spot
it has come down to me and that gluten-free nut
but if I had to choose I'd place my stock in me
threw out the insecure and bought some self-esteem
we compete with our siblings for attention
we compete with our class mates for the golden stickers
we compete with our school mates for class rank
we compete with national students for college admission
Eyes open. Chest out. Back straight. Shoulders back.
Closed mouth, open mind. Now be ready for attack.
All the words flow through my mind.
So distracting, I’m so behind!
Out of tune, out of time,
Lacrosse is my favorite sport
I love running and I love to score
Without lacrosse my life would be a bore
I never want to quit I only want more
When I am on the field I run as fast as I can
Wrote this for a person who thought they were better than me....

I cant hear you over the applause.
My Fans are to enormous and the clause of my contract says,
Every war that was ever fought
all began with a single thought.
They are such powerful things:
the start of relationships and flings.
One thing leads to another
and your thoughts become words.
I look around me, and what I see
are giants, towering, mastering, so alive.
They build and create monuments--no room for me--
While I am merely an ant, no matter how I strive.
All year, we've been preparing for this moment.
The grueling practices,
The difficult performances,
The friendships formed.
This is our time to shine.
Let’s keep this simple.
Nothing good comes from slicing the throats of peers
Let’s keep this simple
Nothing good comes from competitors
Jealousy
Jealousy is rooted from competition
We feel the golden rays of sun beating down on our faces,
As we look towards our leader while our own heart races.
Our feet hit the ground at the sound of the beat,
Arms, legs, and backs ache from the feel of the heat.
Everything is rooted in competition
What a sad way to live
It makes me not want to give
Myself
Collectivity is lacking
Individualism is overused
All this talk is going to blow a fuse
in my brain
Eyes locked in concentration
Taking every scent and sound
Merging with the ground
Silent and deadly as the night
Moving with swiftness and grace
Anticipation of a wild chase
Heart beating the jungle rhythm
