False envy

Times of perseverance
gazing at your competition
stamina is lacking
mind on the brink of cracking

The "others" are winning
seeminglessly without effort
one hand in their pockets
the other one raking in

Times of perseverance
searching for air
shoulders wear
weight of 4 lifetimes
but still...

You are there!
