Best in show
Gold medal
Best friend
First prize
With everyone constantly trying to prove themselves to be the best,
Its hard to stop and think,
Remember,
What you heard
What seems so long ago,
That you are good enough.
That you hold value.
That you still remain priceless.
And that you always will.
No matter what the glass screens tell you.
Its easy to get lost in this constantly competing world
And you see the truth is,
I've never been good at being first place
Or the best for that matter.
But I don't have to be.
Because titles last only as long as their letters,
The trophies will only collect more dust,
And even certificates can tear.
So instead of getting lost in the race,
Get lost in the beauty of things,
In the beauty of life.
This is one of the best things I have ever read. I have been struggling with this lately, and I can't tell you how glad this has made me, and how much my mind has changed on some matters. Thank you.
