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.
