At My Lack Of Success Poem by Francis Duggan

Lack of Success it never does faze me at all
Since compared to many my biggest dream seems rather small
I wish to be happy and little else more
Though to that you may say you've heard that one before
Though true happiness as such i never have known
The feelings i have i could never disown
I too have to battle my black dog of despair
Though by life i can say i have been treated fair
Though in my mind i may be feeling a bit down
I try to seem happy when walking in the town
To put on a smile does not cost one a thing
The praises of a sad sack one never does sing
Since compared to many my biggest dreams are small
At my lack of success i do not feel bad at all.
