This is a Shakespearean sonnet about success and failure
Success is caring about your best life
The money won't make it, comes from within
Though your life will be with struggle and strife
And the pain you cause yourself with your sins

Failure is making all the promises
And then sleeping in without any care
So if you never learn to promise less
You'll fall for every slight and silly dare

You can win, you can enter a new life
Your past doesn't have to be so final
Your hurts in life will cut you like a knife
Just remember these words in your trial

Success is a dream that gets you up now
Just live your life, be safe, never back down
