the banter and the tease
you're good ... but, I'm better
I can etch-a-sketch my world
shake it up and make it change
but you will always remain the same
words carved deep in ash and oak
emotion ... imagination evokes
untouched ... untouchable
you're good ... but, I'm better
life handed me a choice
dealt the cards and screamed, "Play."
so ... I play
it's that simple
life or death?
it's all the same
I looked death in the face
and all I saw ... was Me.
So, put away your childish words
you're pleasure and you're pain
You're good ... but, I'm better.
