PROVE YOURSELF


I don't get why I should be the one to speak like this, I don't feel wise. But I feel like followers are a common disease, like a beer fight. You can spill lies, forget the person you should be in competition with is yourself right? I don't think so, you lose control of yourself and turn selfish tho. It's a common goal to be the G.O.A.T, but it's not a common goal to prove yourself, to yourself. It's a joke, you're overlooked by the wannabe, when I'm working my hardest to best myself for the better me. It's a common dream to be a king, until you have to pay you're dues, and kill your team. Sacrifices is all you preach, until you're leads lean toward evil deeds. You forget who you should really be, and lose control of yourself mentally, for trying to be the better king, but not the better you. You abuse yourself for trying to be approved. When you should look in the mirror, and prove yourself to you. No excuses, no failure pre attended, you shouldn't be in competition with someone else, trenches is where you're headed, beheaded, jealousy is the resurrected, it's the common code when someone is better, you shame their work, crush their merch, and make them feel worthless, because that's all you're worth. It's a curse, but it's life, you can't escape from a test from christ. So I exceed myself, better myself, for myself, because I can't prove myself to anyone else if I'm not happy with myself.
