The Score

A poem about goals.

The Score

So many people around the world

Are truly obsessed with the score

They get: in life, in love, in fame

Sometimes, occasionally in disdain

Points go up, and their winners rejoice

Satisfied by their gainful choices

While certain leave with regrets

They’re mostly assured ‘bout what they’ve set

But for every winner comes a loss:

Some large, some medium, and some very small.

Accepted with both grace and fear

They don’t always mean the end is near

Ultimately, the score will change

From weeks to months, even day to day

Don’t be confident that your start

Will define the rest of your life’s art
