Gettin’s Good

Look
just fail already
all right?
You’ve tried.
God knows you’ve tried
You’ve tried harder than anyone thought you could
struggled further
and more successfully
than we thought would be possible
but it was always an uphill climb
and it was clear from the start
that you couldn’t win.

Winning isn’t everything.
Winning is nice,
certainly, but understanding the world
and its expectations
and resolving your place in it,
those are necessary achievements as well.

If you think about it
in a way
you’ve already won
so why keep going?
How far can you expect to take this?
Why don’t you just quit?
