True Love?

I wouldn't want to be like Juliet.
Is a crush really something to die from?
I mean REALLY, they had just met,
It's so over the top, and VERY dumb.
And Romeo, PLEASE!  What were you thinking?
Was your life only worth a pretty face?
You don't even think twice about drinking?
You never even got past second base.
All I can say is they were WAY too young,
They didn't know first love's not eternal.
They got high on emotion and they clung
despite hurdles, no matter how painful.
Romeo and Juliet, Romantic?
Or two manic kids whose end was tragic?

Competition

When one measures,
What are the things one should compare?
Should one measure?
It only adds to one's hauteur.
If only attention was shared,
There would be no need to compare,
Where one measures.
