My Pain My Gain

my pain  my gain
i anticipate my expectations
cos i don't worry when i fail 

i cut my shoe 
according to my size 
cos i know my worth 
and realise my limits 

i don't believe i can
always get all i need 
but am sure i can always 
fight for my survival

life could be the best
for the man born with 
a silver spoon 
but am happy he can't 
wear my shoes
