Bone Trophy, Second Place

Victory

has never been as bitter as this -

I lift a trophy of bone

of blood

of illusion

and of sickness. I know what it's made of

and I flaunt it anyway because I know that I am made of

the very same.

Second place is silver, like your eyes,

so why do you always end up with gold?

Your smile comes as easy as your victory. Do you not know

that each medal around your neck, each trophy in your cabinet

is screaming at me:289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCXnexe2OR

Why didn't you do better?

Why didn't you try?

You are inferior.

You are inferior to her!

I still applaud you. I still smile even when smiling

makes me sick. I still listen when you speak of your awards,

even when they pile up in my head at night 289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNlus2k5mc

and suffocate my self-worth. I still love you

even when your oblivious happiness

threatens to drown my last shreds of joy

in a tide of Second Place.
