I've always had high expectations

of myself

in all that I do.

I don't believe in losing

defeated or beaten

even if I've missed by an inch.

I've had unforgettable moments

of triumph, joy

due to many successes.

But as I grow up

I soon realize

I can't always have it all.

I've learned to accept

that I can't be the best in everything

it's impossible.

God is fair

I'm blessed with so many wonderful things

and I'm grateful.

I may not be the best in everything

but that does not mean

I can't try to give my all in all that I do.

Giving your all

is the same as being the best

it all lies in your heart.

I am accepting it now

embracing each experience I encounter

enjoying, learning.

I may not be the best,

but I will try to be the best that I can be

I know, I can.
