Nemesis

You look down on me from supposed heights.

You think yourself the world's axis.

You exercise control at every chance.

You spy on me like a vulture,

waiting for a chance to feast upon my carcass.

You think I don't notice.

Tinted windows hide not identity!

You will lose this game you play,

for no one plays it, but you.

I will continue, regardless of you

for in my world, you do not matter.

The things you do are inconsequential

My mission calls me higher.

Stay in the world you've schemed yourself

I had evaluated you as an equal,

how far did discernment deceive.

I name you

not even worthy enough

to be named

my nemesis
