Success is a shifting goal post
Adversity is trying to fix it
Success trying to score
Failure leaves the ego sore

Bruised ego can be played
Which side of your balance sheet its displayed
Debited to your memory
A big burden to carry
Credited to your heart
You start to tell things apart

Success failure doesn't matter
Should neither feel better or bitter
Percentile basis used to measure
Triggers an unwanted competitive nature

Failure is a state of mind
Unless you give  it a reality
Said the great Bruce Lee
Its true for all of us to see
