A New

​​to you it’s all a game
looking for rumors to rearrange
words sharpened by bitterness and rage
on the hunt, baiting me into the cage
when I’m vulnerable you laugh in my face
lips compressed and curled back
Do you believe only one can be the best?
personal questions are easy to ask
reflecting on yourself is too much of a task
always ready to attack
Are you afraid of my honesty?
Do you hate that I don’t push back?

It has nothing to do with me
Maybe someday
we can be at peace
I want to be on our team
