Better

You’re no better than me,
‘cos no one’s better than me.
You’re no worse than me,
‘cos no one’s worse than me.

Everyone’s a schmuck,
casting judgement, internal hatred,
trying to prove themselves
waiting for the non-existent curtain to drop.

Walk life without a step wrong?
What a mug.
I saw you trip last week,
but so did I the day before.

What would I achieve
in mocking your defects?
What does it do for you
to mock mine?
