I cannot compare or compete

I cannot compare or compete with erosion
I cannot compare or compete with destructions’ conscious loss
I cannot compare or compete with beauty in the wind of gravity’s way
I cannot compare or compete with throwing life away
I cannot compare or compete with ‘I love you selfish reasons.’
I cannot compare or compete with the disease of greed or divine hatreds
I cannot compare or compete with un-embodied entities, cold blood, and insects
I cannot compare or compete with the whoremasters’ of freedom
I cannot compare or compete with the creations of water’s ruin
I cannot compare or compete with divine reasons to kill or blame the ‘others’
I cannot compare or compete with Kingdom’s Come wane or ‘Me!’

I love you poetry
I love you poets
I love you failures of the heart so genuine to the receive of life’s gift

I cannot compare or compete with you

And still
In the wake of all that dies to the kiss of each moment’s good-bye
I cannot compare or compete with the compliance of pain is the end of happiness

And so I give to life in return of my soul’s joy and gratitude’s hug my last words; always.

I cannot compare or compete by C.C. Arshagra

I have not been here at RB for some time. I only was moved so to write this because I have such deep respect and gratitude for Ushna Sardar’s undying contribution to the writers of RB. And the email I received to submit to her writer’s challenge #4 in the ‘Imaginative Skull’ Group, with theme based on the image ‘Paper Cut’ by Bogac Erguvenc.

You see, I just realized it would have taken just as long to come up with the words to say ’I’m sorry, I love you all, and I’m too busy and overloaded to do this now’ and that just did not rest. So please do contribute to this. Everyone is winner and we all stand to lose life’s gift together. The entries are amazing! The image is wonderful and deserving of a closer look.

Wonderful write; funny I stumble on this when I do; I’ve been feeling the same; and at the same time away for so long on RedBubble myself. I also realize that everyone, and I mean everyone will have something I envy, something I cannot compete to; much like you express here – but we all find that thing that is meaningful to us and focus in that direction. I start to accept that I’m different, and shouldn’t have to feel shameful of leaving the path that I could not pursue in order to proceed on the one right for me. I also learned there is always reason for everything, and not everything is may it may seem. Lovely work.
