Success can seem so bittersweet
When it’s not the success that you were after
What good is a promotion within your job
It if deprives you of your laughter
More money is something that we all crave
And no amount ever seems enough
As the more we have the more we spend
And do we really need this ‘stuff’
When you want for things that are impossible
And nothing else will do
Should you resign yourself to unhappiness
Or adjust your point of view
I can never have my baby back
But I can have success in other ways
Try to see each success for what it is
And accept a little bit of praise
I saw my success as a weighted scale
One side weighing more than I could bear
And no amount of other success
Could ever truly compare
Maybe my metaphor is wrong
As each success is, of course, it’s own
Together successes make us stronger
But can seem insignificant alone
Be happy when your life goes well
Remembering to take every moment in
No matter how small a success may seem
Make sure you celebrate the win
