Unnecessarily Seek To Beat Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You want to compete with me?
From where would you like to start?
From my beginnings?
To an undefined middle...?
When lessons I learned,
Were taught to me...
With a testing done?
And being around me then,
I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Or...
Do you prefer,
A meeting with me as I waited patiently...
To greet you cheering crossing the finish line?
Which competition with me would leave you,
Satisfied?
And with a peace of mind you can now find,
No time with others...
To compare or unnecessarily seek to beat?
