Stop Asking Me to be Better than You

please,
stop asking me to be
better than you
I hear it in your please
geez…
if you know you aren’t your best
then you know…
I actually ‘have’ to say it?
fine, but see what I mean?
what I was saying is,
Then you know,
there is better in you
therefore, there is
better you can do
choice doesn’t speak like forced ultimatums
saying, “this is something
you better do”
instead, what’s being presented is
an option which both
is better for you
and betters you
so the better you know
the better you can
the better your will
the better you wield
and the better you do
so please,
stop asking me to be
better than you
