Better

"But I could do better."

Just a few hours more

A few more drops of sweat, blood and tears

A few more ounces of pain and sorrow

A few more touches, edits, fixes

"I know I could do better."

I had an off day

The atmospheric pressure killed my head

The alarm didn't ring this morning

The stars weren't properly aligned

"I could do better if..."

If I had more resources

Maybe some more glitter, spark, spunk

Maybe some more stamina, muscle, spine

Maybe some more intelligence, aptitute, talent

Never get caught in the cycle of "better"

Because "better" ultimately causes more suffering than good

And "good enough" gets the job done just as well
