Successful

If only you had worked yesterday
Then, today you could play
It's not that you don't want to win
It's that the sweat has not fallen from your skin
Today, I am successful
Today, you are stressful
Because yesterday I worked
Now, failure lurks
Over the heads of the lazy
And though their future is hazy
My future is bright
And in the thought my future I get to delight
