Success
It could be an exam.
It could be a race.
It could be doing a speech.
It could be helping a loved one.
It could be you’re trying to teach.
It could be that you’re abysmal.
It could be you’re top of the pile.
It could be you’re right in the middle.
It could be you’re failing in style.
Whatever it is that sets you apart
And makes you different and wholly unique
Our common ground and the thing we all
share
Is the success we all search for and seek.
For some, success is easy to find
For others it’s a much tougher task.
But everyone can give 100%
There’s not a lot more we can ask.
You might think this poem seems terribly
fake
And its message clumsy and flawed.
But ask yourself this:
How hard have you tried?
Did you let yourself get overawed?
Success is something that all of us crave
As our skills are put to the test
And whether or not you reach that end goal
What’s to stop you giving your best?
