Move On

That's a very good question 

why do we compete with each other

haven't we been through enough

to just want the best for ourselves

without trying to outdo one another

I know we probably blame that person

for all the pain we've endured

and as a result of that pain

we feel like they don't deserve to win

they don't get to be successful

or have any peace at all

but what about our peace

hurt people hurt people too

so if we don't find a way to stop hurting 

we'll find a way to hurt someone else

everything that happened

I know it wasn't fair 

and things may never be the same

but we must find a way to move on

or we'll spend the rest of our lives
being angry with each other

trying to compete with one another

while destroying ourselves

it'll be the last thing we do together
