Being Right Poem
I hate it when they are right.
It cements them in their ways.
Even if wrong in everything else.
Detestable confidence.
Hated power.
Unobtainable level far beyond me.
***
I hate it when I am right.
It makes no impact in the end.
Simple to me but incomprehensible to them.
No apology ever given in return or admittance of wrong.
It just leaves me with a sour broken feeling.
I should come out feeling justified.
***
All I ever wanted was the both of us to be right.
Victory never the end goal.
Equal grace, mercy and power presented on both sides like fine jewels.
The bad taste a bad memory long flushed out.
Apology a casual or unspoken word louder than a whisper.
I hate how it is always about being right.
