Losers

[gentle jackal]

I love how easy you made it to visualize the envy the speaker feels toward such a proud moment for their friend, it speaks volumes on the duality of friendship, and how competitive nature can override even the deepest of connections without breaking it of course

[ruby raft]

That's definitely what I meant to convey. Thank you for your thoughts on this rambling of mine.

[balmy bluff]

I can see how you expressed different emotions throughout your writing such as envy and anger, sadness, doubt, and numbness. (This is what I got from it).

I love when others write about their experiences, that is when some of the most beautiful art is made.

[ruby raft]

Oh my! Thank you for noticing the little things that matter to me. Indeed. When you are going through something and express it in art, it's bound to be beautiful.

i rlly relate to this
like you put your heart and soul into something and you don't get the results for it
you're trying to be happy for that person who did get it, and you want to be, but you just aren't cause, as you said, the heart is still heavy
it's really good!

[ruby raft]

Thank you! That's what I felt

i just love the way you portrayed jealousy, its so visual and the last two lines chef's kiss

[ruby raft]

Thank you, @stable solar ! I am overjoyed, truly. Oh, and the last line is my favourite one too.

Definitely a good poem. I can feel the jealousy of your friend who got third. I really enjoy the feelings of emotions you displayed in the poem
