The Best

~By Gina-Chan~

 

I spent my whole life

Thinking I was the best

I thought everyone feared me

For I was the future king

 

I boasted to my father

“I’ll be a better king than you”

I told the people

I would be a strong and mighty king

 

But now I am here

On my knees

On the verge of death

The taste of blood in my mouth

And I think

Why did I spend my whole life

Thinking I’m the best

I had no time to enjoy

Life’s wonders and pleasures

 

Now I know

That I’m not the best

For I have been beaten

By someone better than me
