Better

better

By Eastern TwelvePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

I left good in search of better

The better I believed I deserved!

I left better in search for the best

The best I could get!

I found best

Then left best for a better best

There was always better than the better best

So I found every better

But there was always a better

And better was never best.

The chase for better turned me bitter

Up until I thought better

All I needed was good

All I needed was good enough

Good enough that grew to my best!

So much so that now

Every imperfect phrase I write

Every letter I shape

Will always belong

Will never be wrong

Will be better for long!
