Tie

Those who put you down are the ones who envy you.

Those who raise you up follow in your footsteps.

When you think about going up, do you ever worry about reaching the top?

Or do you keep adding on? Thinking that it will never end.

But eventually it will. You will fall to the bottom, Forced to start again, but you won't.

When you've come so far, and then you lose everything.

You think, "Why try?" I know why.

You have your failures. You have your successes.

You just want one, but others might take both.

That is why the fall is long, but the rewards they reap are big.

Big because they do not fuss. They don't fight for the best.

They accept their losses, and acknowledge the wins.

They want other to do thus as well. It works out this way.

Your smiles will stay longer. Your laughs a little bit jollier.

Friends will be around more, and life will be better.

There is more than winning. there is more than losing. 

These people tie. Remember that word?

They tie to everything. Excepting their losses, and acknowledging their wins.
