When almost is not good enough
When your best falls short if you are not the one who wins
I wonder
Who began the system of there being only one winner
That if you were not that one, you were out
A loser
Who started that way of approaching life
That there is only one who rises, only one who accomplishes
Why not
A system that allows for almost, for second place, for near enough
Wouldn’t there be more to celebrate, more movement for all
I wonder
Would we really all stop trying if there were no top prize valued above all
I wonder
