Better
June 2011 (10th Grade)

It's not me,
it's her.
It's not her,
it's me.
Always trying to be better than somebody.
I want to be the best.
I want to be on top.
Competitiveness is in my blood.
It's what makes my heart pump.
I'll make it; you'll see.
I won't settle for less.
I won't tolerate second place.
"Almost" won't do.
"Close enough" won't work.
It's me, not her.
"Good" isn't enough.
"Better" isn't better until I'm on top.
"So close" isn't close enough if you can't reach.
"Almost there" isn't all the way there.
Second place is the first loser.
