I was stuck on this one for a while, but I decided to try it as a villanelle. That worked. Sort of.

Never compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do.

Winning
By Michelle Garren-Flye

I win again, don’t try to deny it!
My victory doesn’t have to be scored;
I won against myself, you should try it!

Numbers aren’t needed if I supply it…
but there you go, acting like you’re bored.
No matter, I win, you can’t deny it.

The world should rejoice with my win while it
is still fresh; I’m ready to be adored!
I won against myself, you should try it.

You can’t take it away or define it.
I know I have won, my inner crowd roared!
I win again, don’t try to deny it.

Now don’t worry about what that guy hit;
his score doesn’t matter, it’s my record.
I won against myself, you should try it.

For self-improvement this works, apply it
and your faith in yourself will be restored.
I win again, don’t try to deny it;
I won against myself, you should try it.
