Second Best

Once again, I am reminded of my shortcomings.

"You were close, but it's just not enough."

"I appreciate the effort, but we'll be going with someone else."

So on and so forth.

 

Christ man, what the hell do you do when you giving everything, literally everything, is still not enough to succeed?

 

What can you do when you've broken yourself in an attempt to just make the base line requirement, and your still looked at and seen as lacking?

 

How can someone try and lecture you about how you didn't try hard enough after sacrificing so much of your time, blood, sweat, and tears? Just to come up short?

 

Fuck man, is it just shit luck? Or is it fate that determines our worth?

Sad

That self worth is based on anyone's opinions of your performance.

We aren't on earth to please men/women.

This described abuse. If muse, nice write. If true get out.

Been here before,sorry,
