The Other Kind of Inspiration

You seem to be downtrodden now
So many falls
All aches and moans
Some pep squad spirit is your need
And here is mine to make you pleased

You cannot do it
Yes, you will fail
Think this can get brighter?
No! It'll get worse

You are pathetic
You are a drawl

So you want inspiration?
Well, here is mine!

For many victories were sparked by ache
And not all smiles the successful man makes
For most of part you need a frown
A bar, a challenge to take you down

So when you expect to be inspired
Hold on to your seat and invert that smile
You'll never do or make it out

Disprove what I said and prove me wrong!
