The Best

The Second Best

Always Be the second best
if on top will know not
where to go
if so deep
cannot keep at to get up

nature uncomparable
nothing is better
nothing is worse

feeling on top
not knowing where to go next
stagnant in an endless journey
the river should flow
or will smell foul

be the best
trying to be the best
the second best is the best

feeling so deep
tired of the undone work
upset still
the earth should rotate
or will disintegrate

be the best
trying to be the best
the second best is the best

all should grow
one step at a time
or will go to grave
the moment it is born

the best of the best
the second best
will not make you the best
will keep you the best

I am ranked second in my class, which motivated me to write this. I feel that anything can be defended, you can even defend that nothing can be defended.
