Someone knows better
Someone's always smarter
It could've been handled better
Or there's someone else who's faster
Someone else is prettier
There's someone who did it better
If you have ten then they have twelve
If yours is wet, then theirs is wetter
If you think your idea original
I assure you it is not
Or try to break a record
That someone else has got
You may think that you are special
Or that your creation is unique
But under further investigation
You need a new technique
For no matter where you go
Or what you choose to do
Even if you're good at it
There's someone who's better at it than you

There will always be someone better. But all the effort is still worth while 😊❤️
Great observations
Humility is important to be sure, but I think constantly comparing oneself to others is equally dangerous. I should know, I am guilty of it myself lol. Nevertheless, this is an incredibly insightful and well-written poem!
All so very true about what you wrote. very well done
