It's hard to look around you.
And all you see is success.
A success ring swarming around you
As you dwell in your hole of failure.
They say-
"Success will happen one day"
"Just be patient"
"Just have hope"
"Just try hard and be dedicated!"
""Keep your head up!"
It's nice.
They think this all so 1 dimensional.
If I keep my head up.
The swarm attacks.
But...
I can't wallow in my sorrows
Lie beside my mountain of sorrows.
I have to be gracious in defeat.
Each and every time.
Smile and clap
Applause.
Smile and clap.
Applause.
Compliment.
Praise.
Cheering.
Smiling and clapping.
Applause
Compliment.
Praise.
Praise.
Praise.
Every single time.
Same process.
I just want it to happen to me.
Is that too much to ask for?
The answer is yes.
If you feel,
You deserve praise.
You never get it.
You shouldn't get it.
Not with that kind of attitude.
So I guess I'll just sit here.
Around the swarm of successors.
Buzzing around my face.
Because that's life.
No-one can change that.
Smiling and clapping.
Compliments and praise.
Applause and smiling.
Clapping and compliments.
Praise and applause.
I have to be gracious in defeat.......
