 My Measure of Success

How to measure success I ask

Myself sadly from time to time,

When I'm comparing my own task

To others, and disheartened I'm

Not completing my task as well

As others, and I know not why.

For I think I've worked hard as hell,

While others hardly seem to try.

So measuring success for me

Is that others have so much more.

I admit I feel jealousy,

Losing to others winning more.

Toilet paper is like success,

Not having it, important, yes!
