New Voice

appreciate

being a perfect person
isn't that great.

how boring it would be
if things came easy to you
without having to work for it.

how mundane it would be
if you succeeded all the time
without knowing
failure.

when you fail twenty times
at something
but you succeed
at your twenty-first attempt,
you feel accomplished
and happy
and proud of yourself
for not giving up
and sticking till the end.

getting there
actually
means something.
