Good Enough

The greats don't come in second
The best don't finish last
The top isn't at the bottom
Or lost within the pack

They stand before it all
And be champion above
The seconds are forgotten
And with them their love

The good enough Has to be
In order for greatness to shine
strength in numbers Does not apply
When comparing human lives

While them below look up
And cheer for my own success
The ones above laugh and snicker
Without a thought to repress

If I were better I'd accept greatness
And worst accept my failures
But in the middle of the two halves
Is distance far for voyagers

To those one wish I were better
And those who see my greatness
Both pluck the fatal string
That strikes the note, good enough
