It is day one
We are
Excited
Energized
We will get this done
And sneer at all who came before
Who failed
Because we are
Better
It is day one hundred
Exhaustion has come and gone
Leaving behind
an aching emptiness
And still we sneer at naysayers
Those cautious and careful
We need no advice
because we are
Better
It is day five hundred
Excitement has waned
Energy has dulled
even determination is crumbling
We press on
against doubt
against anything
Because we swore we would be
Better
It is past the days of counting
Our eyes have grown dull
Our spirit has flagged
We are weary
And now we watch
through life dulled eyes
as the next group
claim they will succeed
Because they are
Better.
