Trying

One day

I decided

I was going to try.

Such a simple thing

But it made all the difference.

I was going to try to get better

Because then I couldn’t feel bad if it didn’t work

My goal wasn’t to succeed

It was

To try

And try I did, so

Therefore,

By definition

I succeeded.

And this, in turn

Gave me the motivation

And the courage

To try again

And again

And again

Until I did succeed at completing my final goal.
