Nothing beats a failure but a try
Writers, scientists, and athletes all know why
Celebrating wins and taking losses in stride
Are the keys to success, way more important than ego and pride
How many shots missed, paragraphs edited
And experiments gone wrong, that never get credited
For the all of the breakthroughs and championships
If I had a dollar for each incomplete poem and every short story script
I’d be a millionaire, not in a room full of papers crumpled and ripped…
Up in frustration, arguing with myself, pacing
Trying to best express my ideas in a sentence or paragraph
The Gods must be crazy, so I won’t show them my wrath...
Rather just explain
In language so plain
The ideas that they put into MY head...
These rhymes are divine, do you understand what I just said?
