It took my all to stand,
when they were rushing forward,
there were sacrifices to be made,
pushing me with difficult choices,
still I persisted, in defiance.
They say, celebrate small successes,
but no one remembers second place,
in a world of increasing competitions,
there's many fighting for center stage,
ignoring ones remaining in backgrounds.
It took my all to stand,
for, I too admired their acts,
qualities displayed, which I lacked,
inspiring me, for improvements,
working towards my own growth.
Yet, there's never a steady glow,
flames flickers, when distractions showed,
little by little, building the foundations,
creating my place, with contributions,
finding joy, from small accomplishments.
It took my all to stand,
still not enough to leave the mark,
being overshadowed in their ranks,
shining brighter like radiant sun,
and I, a candle in the daylight.
