Competition [villanelle poem]

Life these days is way too competitive,
There is never room to loosen up and let it flow,
This competition is making lives so repetitive.

This competition is making lives so repetitive,
Practice makes perfect, perfection wins a show,
Life these days is way too competitive.

Life these days is way too competitive,
Intelligence isn't measured by what you know,
This competition is making lives so repetitive.

This competition is making lives so repetitive,
Everything's measured by memorization for a show,
Life these days is way too competitive.

Life these days is way too competitive,
It's too easy to get behind and below,
This competition is making lives so repetitive.

All these competition judges need to take a sedative,
And those competitors just need to let go,
Life these days is way too competitive,
This competition is making lives so repetitive.
