"Competition"
Competition, it means different things to different people
But whether it be a friendly rivalry
Or a fight to the death
The end result is the same
There will be winners
And there will be losers
Of course the trick is
To know which battles to fight
You see, no victory comes without a price

"Guilty"
There's a widely read book that tells that everyone is a sinner
Of course, not everyone feels guilt about the bad things they do
In contrast, there're those who assume more than their share of the blame
There are others who soothe their consciences with small acts of kindness...
or by telling themselves their sins were justified.
Finally there're the ones who simply vow to do better next time and pray for forgiveness
Sometimes their prayers are answered

"Trust"
Trust is a fragile thing
Once earned, it affords us tremendous freedom
But once trust is lost, it can be impossible to recover
Of course the truth is
Those who we are closest to can betray us
And total strangers can come to our rescue
In the end, most people choose to trust only themselves
It is the simplest way
To keep from getting burned
"Vow"
The vow is simple really
Those who take it promise to stay together for better or for worse
for richer or for poorer
in sickness and in health
to honor and to cherish
for sake in all others
until death do us apart
Yes, the vow is simple
binding someone worthy of such a promise is the hard part
but if we can, that's when we begin to live happily ever after
