Winning Isn't Everything
posted Friday, 15 April 2005
By what yardstick do you measure success?
Does thrill of victory overwhelm stress?
Striving to reach,
reaching for stars,
pausing to teach,
hiding the scars,
When will my head stop its constant spinning?
Will I ever realize that I'm winning?
mechanically plodding, why I don't know,
Some day it's done,
done well and gone,
who will have won?
who'll still move on?
When it has ended and finished its run,
Just from competing I hope I'll have won.
Does thrill of victory overwhelm stress?
Striving to reach,
reaching for stars,
pausing to teach,
hiding the scars,
When will my head stop its constant spinning?
Will I ever realize that I'm winning?
I work tirelessly to overcome all,
When does the rat race slow down to a crawl?
Plugging away,
away from home,
toil everyday,
tired and alone,
When will the laurels be placed on my head?
Did I not listen when praises were said?
All that I am is laid down on the race,
Nothing left in reserve, narry a trace,
To win or lose,
lose on the way,
all just to prove,
I've won the day,
Is it worth all of this, this troubled strain?
To know or not know, to strive all in vain?
mechanically plodding, why I don't know,
Some day it's done,
done well and gone,
who will have won?
who'll still move on?
When it has ended and finished its run,
Just from competing I hope I'll have won.
