Winning

Winning, how important is that to me,
will that make me who I want to be,
how about this contest, we will see.

Winning, will recognition make me feel better,
will my happiness come from a confirmation letter.

Winning, will that make the world see me,
will that define that I,m worthy.

Winning first place, will that make me know,
I,m the best, I think not so.

Winning Not, will that make me cry,
no, I,ll just continue to try.
