You have already learned the lesson I have tried to instill in my daughters: it's better to be the one others are cheering than to be a cheerleader for someone else.

"I never let competition get the best of me,
because I knew it wouldn't last."

Yes, losses are temporary, but the competition is unending - it propels everyone through every accomplishment ever made.

Clear & expressive declaration, good work.

What I love about most of your poems is that they all have this inner strength in them. Once again you wrote something powerful that passed on the message of being strong

Very sad, and even mildly metaphorical, but im not entirely sure what youre trying to say with it. do you mean that you have not yet found the thing that youre really good at? or youre really good at something but people wont give you a chance? some combination therein? perhaps im idiotic for not recognizing it immediately, as i can definitely see that there is a message in there, but it seems to me as if it hasn't fully fledged into a direction. just a bit of tweaking and im certain itll be an excellent piece of work.

This poem is inspiring

and full of strength also. feeling determine to want to push yourself so that you make it. choosing that over pride is something to do. i enjoyed reading this ..i want to push myself too

uplifting poem
