Afraid to be second best,
sometimes the only test,
Helps when you puff your chest,
and have confidence to spare.
Don’t let fear tell the tale
just as long as you don’t bale
not trying is the only fail,
attempt life with courage.
Each faltered fall, get up again.
A new belief. Let’s make it plain,
you will have so much to gain
going at your pace.
This is excellent you have caught the prompt perfectly 💜

As a teacher “not trying is your only fail” is the mantra I give to my students (and equally, to myself).
