WINNER

in #poetry6 years ago

None of us can stop
We all want to get to the top
We want to finish in front of the line
But we're running out of time

Truth be told, you have to be bold
And daring, rather than caring
So you can be better than the rest
And best of the best

Why can't we be nice?
And not have personalities like ice?
It shouldn't mean you're weak
Because you're not on a winning streak

Success can be measured in different ways
Not only by the amount of money and praise
But by how good you feel
That's when you know that success is real

It's important to know
That wherever you go
Someone will try to outdo you
But make something of it, will you?

Is life about coming out ahead?
Or is it about going slow instead?
It's about finding who you are
And remembering to look up at the stars

When you walk down the street
Never look down at your feet
Winning doesn't mean coming out ahead
It means being perfectly happy instead

People are worth more than money
So make every day sunny
Don't struggle with too much strife
And you will have a good outlook on life.
