How?

How did it happen?
We were always so close.
What did I do?
Nothing I can see.
Nothing to deserve what you've done to me.
You were always there since the begining.
We were always together, both of us winning.
But then you always had to be best.
Whatever I was good at mattered least.
You still have to be stronger, smarter, more artistic.
To me it sems kind of pathetic.
How could you hurt me so?
You tried so hard to make me feel low.
Someone else and it wouldn't have mattered.
But when it was you my courage scattered.
You took it away and try to flaunt it in front of my face.
How could you try to slow my pace?
I used to be so sad; you used to make me cry.
But I know now I will be the one of us to fly.
I know I have friends better then you.
Who will stick by me and always be true.
But if they don't, thanks to you, I will always be strong.
I have felt what it feels like and know that it's wrong.
I know I will end up better then you, but it is painfull still to face you every day.
And still to this day I can't help but say, "How can you feel strong as you push me around? How can you smile as you push me down."
