“Fair means everyone gets what they need and the only way to get what you need is to make it happen yourself” - Rick Riordan


Does anyone know that feeling?

The feeling of finally being under the light

Of being special

Then the feeling of it taken away

 


Some say it’s selfish

Others say its finding meaning

Some say it’s an achievement

Others say it’s fair game

 


After a while of this happening

After a while you will get use to it

After a while you will go after anything to give you meaning

After a while you wont even know it’s happening

 


Some will lose sight on what they want

Others will still try to claw their way back

Some will lose friendships

Others will give up and fall

 


Outshined

Always by another one

It doesn’t matter how hard you work

Someone else will be under that light

 


Some will let it happen

Others will fight for it

Some will find another angle

Others will try all

 


There will always be someone better

There will always be light taken away

There will always be competition

There will always be someone outshined

This is a poem I feel is relatable to someone out there, to whoever reading this and you’ve gone through this multiple times this is dedicated to you.
