Not Trophy To Me

Incomparably different

And way more precious to me

Than the acquisition of the rarest trophy

No matter what success it commemorates

Would never even elicit that debate

A trophy is coveted for superficial allure

Stowed away or showcased for pride

One just whets the appetite for another

And likely ignored in pursuit of those others

I do not want you because others pine for you

I won't adore you just for a period of time

Then disrespect you in pursuit of others

Because you are enough for me

You satisfy my every quota of you

And leave no room to want to fill

Your splendor is not time dependent

So my time can't take you for granted

You do not remind me of anyone else

So I can't get used to your beauty

That is why I am lucky to have you

When impostor syndrome sows doubt

You hold me till it melts away

My vision of beauty was so limited before you

Because all I did before was compare

But you are not trophy to me

I could not conjure you in my wildest dreams

Though I dream of you now when I am awake

When there is music in my heart I see your face

Like the splendor of the morning sun

Bursting through clouds that can not contain

The universal largesse like the smile on your face

So I wont restrain you in a trophy case

Like an accomplishment to make others jealous
