Never Been The Best

I have always thought, 
even without proof, 
that I was the best at what 
I do 
but school happened, 
and I realised I was no better 
than some 
as I strived to keep up with the 
best, 
the best seemed to get better 
I slackened, see-sawed 
and swung like a pendulum 
between best and the worst, 
and the guilt still haunts me 
for I believed if I tried harder, 
I wouldn't be where I am now 
and nothing haunts more than 
the thought that if I tried harder, 
my path would have been different
