First place always is the first to lose. So with second, Third, Fourth, And so on. Nobody truly "wins", Only the bystanders. But they run along with you, Besetting you, Hurting you, Killing you... The relentless invisible words The pictures they take to keep, To keep, only to blackmail. That's why you never truly "win". They cheat. Cheat you out of success Cheat you out of love Cheat you out of your own mind, when you were there first. The haunting, The taunting... You can never escape. It's a race everyday You race to escape reality But they always catch you, Pulling you deep, Into the endless pit of supposed knowledge.
