I’ll always be a level one

Unworthy undeserving

Never reaching something better

No privileges no second serving

No time for simple happiness

Just perfect the state you’re in

No reward till work is done

No time to reach or search within

Someone’s always better

Someone’s never me

Sometimes I pray or meditate

But I feel empty on my knee

No value no accomplishments

At least none that I see

My brainwash of my pitty state

Drowning away at sea

For who are they to judge me

Who says I’m level one

We all breathe air, and cry and care

Until the black souls smother fair

The good must carry on

The best must win this race

The strong must carry on

And exchange “level 1” for 1st place
