Write Down To It

I am not able to understand

I can see you,
Sitting back and grinning
Every time I have a setback or fail
What kind of satisfaction does that give you?
Sometimes I think I should give up and bail
Say goodbye to this relationship and let you win
But how will that look on me
That when the going gets tough, I flee?
No! I will stay and I will win
I'll get to the point where
I smile even when I fail
For I know in failure there's always a lesson to be learned
And in turn, I will turn that back on you
You should know
That I am stronger because of all the things you do

There is something deep within me
That will guide me to my success
I will not allow you to deter me from it
I can not
I know what you are capable of
I've seen you when you are at your destructive best
My friend, had also seen your evil nature
I think of him often,
And it breaks me to the pit of my being
that he let you win
I have not much else to say
But this I do know
Life,
You are
No one's friend.
