I found myself in life's nest and wanted to be the best.
I aspired to come first without knowing the context of the contest.
I wanted to climb to the top like a crest and never cared about the rest.

Failure kept on clinging to me like a stinging pest.
I failed...
I failed to understand life.
It was all a test but I never knew...
