Cold victory.

I've given it my all, my best shot,

But still, success seems out of reach, a distant dot.

I've toiled and labored, day and night,

To make my dreams take flight.


But the harder I try, the further it seems,

Like a mirage that shimmers and gleams.

I've fallen short, and stumbled too,

And watched my hopes and dreams fall through.


It's hard to swallow, this bitter pill,

To know that I have failed, despite my skill.

To see my efforts come to naught,

And feel as though I've sold myself short.

I know that life can sometimes be unfair.

That success is not always guaranteed,

And sometimes our efforts go unheeded.
