Healthy competition

Healthy competition

A Poem by yourstruly

There was once a time 
Where jealousy had no where to hide 
I raised my sword but you didn't 
To try and kill the ugly emotions 
Loyalty has a different meaning 
Mine was to forgive, but yours was to punish 
What seemed like maturity to me 
Made you think it was childish disloyalty 
Who are you to punish others
When your friends are your very foes 
When I have to tell you how much you owe 
When you can't see that pride got the better of you 
You think you are selfless in your oh so selfish acts 
Taking credit for my actions and pretending, it was part of your plan 
That you put the ingenious idea into my head 
That the creation of me was your knead
You never knew what it meant 
When people said " it takes 2 hands to clap" 
I stood a soldier, to fight for you night and day 
To withstand all that sarcastic comments
But my honesty just had to take the chance 
To run away and find a quiet place 
To think about all the manipulation, my life was a stage play 
To find my sense of justice again 
To be the queen of my own realm 
You had no idea what it was like to be me 
You think you figured me out 
But honey you're only beginning 
I can show you how conniving
My mind can get, if I catch you deceiving 
Then again I have come to see 
That I am jealous of you, as you are of me 
I will ready myself for a battle, on land and in sea
To prove that I am better than you can ever be.

It seems here that two people care for each other but then the other has selfish motives behind his friendship.
The other became manipulative, rude and self centered.
The friendship has now hit the rocks and the two friends are now antagonists ready to prove that one is better than the other.
You have explained the nuances of this relation in a very clear and thought provoking manner.

A powerful poem, and rather thought provoking too. I really enjoyed it, what I like the most about is that it is sad, but strong and inspirational at the same time. Well done and keep on writing.
