The Secret of The Bounce

 With each ounce of force you give,

It bounces higher and higher,

With each bounce a fall,

And each retraction a success to be recalled.

 

Even a miniscule ball, with a world a 100 times bigger,

Will try harder each time, to soar higher and higher.

If even an over-active, tiny ball can overcome failure,

Let me ask: why can't you too be a trier?

If you can get put out,

By the failure that puts you down,

You can easily spring back up,

Turn your frown upside down.

With each fail a trampoline,

With each hard fall an energetic pounce,

When your feet touch the ground,

Full of power, back up you bounce.

Failure is the biggest help,

You can get to reach success.

Because each time it drops you down,

It boosts your desperation, bringing it to excess.

And with that excess desperation,

You might want to try harder.

With better resources and mindsets the next time,

Higher up you'll fly, you'll reach farther.

See, you learn from your mistakes,

You don't let them discourage you,

With the bouncing balls of your feet,

Make stories of your success come true.

And in the end, an important note:

I'll give you one secret to success, just see,

I know it's true, and my brain said and I quote:

"Success wants your self-belief."
