Peers! O Peers!

Peers! O peers! 

What should I call you? 

How shall I define you? 

Are you the reason for my existence in the race? 

Or the cause of the pain when edged out and the rollin' tears? 

Peers! O peers! 

You are my best friend as well as my biggest foe

To compete with you make me stressed

But without you, it feels to let the events go. 

Peers! O peers! 

Abject fear, an absolute pleasure

Neck-and-neck competition or difference beyond measure

Shall I accept that you take more than you give? 

Or is it the other way around? 

Peers! O peers! 

Whatsoever you are, 

Whether you aim to make or mar

Your alter egos do haunt me sometimes

But if you wish to clarify which one is truly you, I'll be glad to hear.
