Despite Your Tells
Afraid to admit that you may have some flaws,
you hide your talents behind a veil of doubt.
But competing with vultures with beaks and claws,
the odds are stacked; you need to figure things out.
There's serious competition, so to win,
focus on where you're going, not where you've been.
You cannot rely on luck or magic spells
and must play the cards fate dealt, despite your tells.
Reality's just something to rise above:
you cannot allow it to stand in your way.
There's no scientific way to describe love,
emotion-fueled feelings come into play.
Who you are depends on who you want to be:
choose to be a winner or a wannabee.
Life offers no road maps; you are on your own,
a free-willed individual, not a clone.
