An Ungiven Gift

An ungiven gift 
Success…a gift given to few
A pride known for some
A word that makes the world
How can I get there?
How can it be? A wall for what is right or wrong
A land to be traveled by she…
When you get there it’s hard to remember pain 
It’s right to smile and say I want to gain 
But when you fall
You don’t know what to do 
You don’t know what to say 
You don’t know what’s been wrong
You just cry and hate the world
You just curse and scream 
You just don’t know why?
You’ve studied and lay down a sweat of tire
So how come?
How come you fell?
