There is one that I hate more than all else,
A brightness in contrast to my darkness,
A child compared to me in my old age,
He whines in the situation he's in,
But in contrast to my predicaments,
I see only reasons to be happy,
This boy is the pretender,
My enemy,
We fight in stealth,
Through manipulation,
Through words,
The boy is my youth.

Just a free verse I modified from a conversation I had with a friend.
