Embarrassed, defeated, aghast I stand
Competing, this victory I had in my hand
Left overshadowed by my protege, a light that once shined on me
Inexcusable emotions, rage, envy and jealousy
Peels of laughter, celebration everywhere as I wallowed in discouragement
Small to others, huge to me, a stranger's words of encouragement
Everyone has time to shine, it’s just the time of another. Yours never left, it’s just temporarily covered
