Others Win By Undisputed Defiance

So discouraged by my failures that surely displease; the harder I try, the more they seem to increase. I lay break on break, dripping with sweat; some days I restart with another mindset. I can't give up and despite the daily hardships; I've faith that this dream won't turn into ashes. Others win by undisputed defiance claiming worth; failing at something attests to the revealed truth. I won't ever tire of trying, the feeling is too big; it may take a lifetime before I'll be able to sing. The sculptor's sharp chisel scatters clouds of dust; it will reveal image after image an innovative bust. I would feel guilty if the hard work weren't rewarded; no dream wanes if persistence is a harmonious chord.
