I finally see myself
Through the eyes of no one else

Gold, silver or bronze hold no value here,
Where work and rest are equally revered.
_______

three;
the personality that works too much,
too hard,
too critically.

failing isn't an option,
perfection is the only choice.
if perfection is not met,
then they may forget.

if others standards are not exceeded,
three's will feel defeated.
if validation is not provided,
their thoughts will be misguided.

three;
the personality that will always
encourage you,
the one that has a fiery heart
and a ferocious drive.

if others standards are not exceeded,
it is okay.
they will still love you,
anyway.

because of your explosive personality,
your ability to make others smile actively,
and because you are simple a three.
