I wish I had a foe

I wish I had a foe
who could shamelessly look into my eyes
who could construct ways to agitate me
who could bring the best out of me.

I wish I had a foe
who could take responsibility for my usual temper
who could evoke me to run doubly fast to beat him
whom I could trust as the only person against me.

I wish I had a foe
who could boldly announce his nonalignment with me
who could bring my sins in front of the territory
who could gift me a reason to dwell in my hollow life.

I wish I had a foe
who could look for every chance to diss me
who could bring the angry person out of me
who could openly, dauntlessly argufy me.

I wish I had a foe
who could offer me sleepless nights
who could cater me struggling days
who could deny me facile victories.

I wish I had a foe
who could, at least, think about me
even if his thinking goes against me.
