TROPHY
1st place
Legitimate
The first time I’ve won a
Trophy
In my entire life
And you weren’t there.
I was so excited
My body
SHOOK!
I never expected to win anything
At all
And
When I told you, I got
“Good job”
You encourage me to do this
Begged
Pleaded
Anything you could do
To make me join you in it
And then
I got
Everything
But not
Your joy
