Competition

It's tough,
But it sucks you in
Cause you can lose,
But you like to win,
The Approval makes you spin,
And Validation lifts your chin,
Feeding insecurities that live within.

To be better than your kin,
To be the one chosen by him,
To make her the happiest she's ever been,
To know secrets beneath the skin,
And be the reason behind the grin.

Before it all ends you take it in
And play till the next game begins.
