In My Position

You're wrong when you
I have no reason to complain
I'm the darkness at night
You make the day shine
You will never be In My Position

I'm a wilted rose / A corrupt soul
Decaying further with each passing second
Like a body inside a hole
You're the highest bar / A twinkling star
Able to be seen at a distance
No matter how far
I'm trapped in a realm where nightmares aren't imaginary
You reside in a land where dreams last an eternity

You think you've grown or evolved, but there's no change
When being yourself is a punishable mistake
Still synonymous with a broken tool
I'm a useless fool / Discarded by the cruel
Several assaults from malignant acts
Have left me crippled and barely intact
As the last of a species soon to be at rest
I recall the majority of my life's moments
Attacked by the savage
Defensive against havoc
To miracles elusive
To tragedies attractive
It's doubtful anyone will respect me
With a proper burial ceremony
Instead I'll become an offering
So others can live in luxury

You're wrong when you say
I have no reason to complain
You think I'm just crying out for attention
You don't understand me
I won't bother to explain
Because you've never been In My Position
Your experiences are different than mine
Due to how our lives function
I'm the darkness at night
You make the day shine
You will never be In My Position

My place in this world is at the bottom of a well
Or in the center of an area where only the lonely dwell
Directly behind me is a field occupied by sorrow
Behind you is a wealth of people ready to follow

Your failures are still accomplishments to them
Losing is just another opportunity to win
You have complete access without an invitation
Others repent in your place when you sin
Snide remarks get welcome reception
Nobody partakes in an event until you begin
Any ambition of yours is encouraged 100%
Obtaining a new skill earns you a coronation
In isolation you still have everyone's attention
Those who may oppose you are branded as abominations
Because I'm only labeled as most of the negatives
Defining you uses solely positive adjectives
You're described as amiable, beneficent
Competent, deft, experienced
Fervent, gentle, humorous
Intelligent, jubilant, kindhearted
Luxurious, majestic, nimble
Optimistic, pleasant, quintessential
Reliable, sophisticated, thoughtful
Unequaled, valiant, worthwhile
Xenial, youthful, and zealous
Which still isn't your description to the fullest
Be grateful for the fortunes you possess
I confess, I envy your unrivaled level of success

How does it feel to be always admired
To always have attraction / To be always desired
How does it feel to never go unnoticed
To never know loneliness / To never be the remotest
Maybe if I didn't have competition
Then maybe / Just maybe I'd receive recognition
Maybe if I were born a different person
Then maybe / Just maybe I'd be in your position
