Exceptional A free form verse on competition I Could Go On by Bryce 1      Competition Contest Winner

I used to think competition was negative Bad Egoic Childish Silly Pointless To be pitted against someone else to see who is better Worthy Superior  Faster Smarter Stronger All the commotion that leaves another feeling smaller Sadder Bitter Fearful Lonely Defeated But one day I was given a new point of view A new angle A different assesment I might have been wrong It might be a good thing A great thing A very powerful tool Competition is not finding out who is better and who is worse Good and bad Winner and loser Worthy or not Competition occurs between two people who want to become better There does not have to be anything sad about loss Loss is an arrow pointing forward Not a stop sign with bad news They want to get better and competiton makes them better It is a positive thing Competition evolves the good into the great into the legend All great legends preach that loss is the key to gain They embrace competition and take loss not as a signal of defeat Unworthiness Proof of deficiency  They take it as a win in their effort to become who they want to be Competition Inspires Evolution  I risk each word in this writing contest I place myself in now I risk my whole self image as a writer If I lose, am I still a writer? The answer is yes Only if I continue writing And striving And never accept Defeat   Writing Prompt Write a free verse poem on competition. Tell what it means to be competitive and why you love competition or not. Free verse is a form of poetry that does not necessarily follow to any specific meter patterns, rhyme, or any other pattern. Free verse, despite its freedom, often still has some elements of form. Most free verse does observe a convention of lines and structure. No rhyming patterns. Competition Contest Winner
