who likes being humiliated?
that feeling of shame makes my heart wither
turns my face hot, stealing my words
i'm prideful
competitive
of course i'm a sore loser -
are you telling me to be satisfied with this?
are you saying to settle for mediocre?
i could do that
but those who settle will sink
haven't you seen sand in still water?
unless you stir things up
that's right
keep staring
everyone judges so of course there's a loser
now, there isn't always a winner
but i refuse to let you say
my pride doesn't matter
in your standards
of importance

- lion girl, don't waste your life living with sheep
