There you go again, daydreaming, same old subjects that the\nmind\u2019s regurgitating,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparing notes, mental inventories of various conquests,\nfame and former glories,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not sure if you made the grade, the competition\u2019s rather\nstiff,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyes may roll and heads may shake when they learn with whom\nyou\u2019re competing with,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No this ain\u2019t no classroom shit, this is proper grown-up\nshit, somehow your missus is your secret competition,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yeah that\u2019s right, kinda strange ain\u2019t it? First let\u2019s take\na history lesson,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seemed innocuous, that chance encounter, love found between\npolar opposites,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was gifted, photogenic, talented, that combination\npayin\u2019 dividends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Him from shakier foundations but defied the cynics, haters and\nthe party poopers, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chance encounter on the subway after hours, protected her\nfrom pesky would-be predators,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got to talking, kept her company \u2018til her ride arrived to come\ncollect her,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exchanged numbers, ain\u2019t missed a chance to steal those precious\nconversations,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Year and a half together \u2018fore he sucked it up and asked her\nfor her hand in marriage, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lived happily ever after, that one can\u2019t be disputed,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But behind the laughs and tender moments a flame threatens\nto blow a gasket,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her earning power, life achievements, public image, they be\ndwarfin\u2019 all of his,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got him paranoid that they be judging why she\u2019s the one\nsupporting him,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No he ain\u2019t no hype man, slacker or hangers-on, certainly\nnot some trophy husband,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dude more than earns his keep, time ain\u2019t dimmed that heart,\nethos and the work ethic,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he can\u2019t outshine her nor outwork her, got him running\non that hamster wheel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Legs churning, hiding to nothing, in his mind he\u2019s still inadequate,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it don\u2019t have to be that way, step off and count your\nblessings, bro,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She chose you from a line of suitors, surely you are someone\nspecial,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why focus on perceived deficiencies than what you\u2019re bringin\u2019\nto the table?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019d have dropped your ass if you were useless and certainly\nif you\u2019re unstable,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Part ways with this toxicity, ain’t nothing noble with going on like this,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dudes be turning good gals off when they stay petty, childish,\nimmature and jealous, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s your wife and not your rival, treating her as such will lead to your unraveling,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the mirror lies your competition, it\u2019s clich\u00e9d but the\ntruth lies there among the drivel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fuck what others say \u2018cuz if you play it right she\u2019ll always\nchoose to be with you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the long and short of it and it\u2019s really all that\nmatters, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
