Being Unsuccessful


Why even try

When you only think about yourself.

When you are mean and hateful.

If you don't try to be kind.

If you don't put yourslef in their shoes.

What the point

If you dont take your time.

If you half ass averything.

When you don't represent your best.

When you wonder why your not the winner.

Why try when

You know you will win.

When you rub it in out faces.

If all you want is the trophy.

If all you do is tear others down.

Someday, you'll meet someone

just like you.

And you'll hate them too.
