What the L!!!


What the L!!!


Time for the dreaded self evaluation
Time to tally up my life’s score  
     
Did I win or did I lose?
It seems important somehow

If currency accumulated defines success
Then I come up short in the financial game

If achieving one’s potential matters
Then I failed to fly where I could have flown

Failure such a hurtful word
Losing always stings

Grasping for some accomplishments
To counteract the awful self truth 

 I am a member of the Legion of Losers
Those who fell short of their expectations 
  
At least I can take as a consolation prize
That I am not alone in my defeated state 

Maybe the definition needs to be redefined          
Perhaps this examination can be Pass/Fail

Can we grade ourselves on a curve?
Since the median be skewing down

I really don’t want to classify myself
As an underachieving loser type

Life is a difficult enough journey
Without dragging the chains of failure around
