Competition

Competition in our race
Competing for each and everything
do we complete all that we seek
and yet, we're left with longing -

No money have I to show the world
No status have I to show my class
yet all I have is love and words
unrelenting, and unceasing -

You are sought out by someone else
so I recluse into myself
and I refuse to complicate
my feelings with a destined fate
