Your best, it's not good enough
Your heart, it's not big enough
Your mind, it's not controlled.
You listen, but you don't believe.
Your best is determined by you
Your heart can hold true
Your mind can listen but choose.
It's your choice if you lose.

The author's comments:
Sometimes we're our hardest critics and we can't let our failures or the people who critize us bring us down. You can control who you become and justify it by your own means.
