Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

Dancing around the room,
you fall to the floor
and express your distress
at your failure.

You fly across the room
in sache and wobble,
you turn and yell at yourself
for not being the best.

You face away from the mirror,
and try to see the perfections
in your failure,
you know you must try harder.

Coming in and out of time,
thinking that you are not good enough.
You must see the perfection,
in everything you do.
