I taste what failure tastes like
and felt disappointment for the first time
I fell short on my ultimate goal
and it cuts all my confidence loose
the first time I felt defeat in this field
for long I have conquered everything
now before you I have nothing
I guess life just throws at you
in ways you will never expect
my arrogance has faded
as well as the roots have wilted
I feel like it's the end
with no face to show in the crowd
but who will say that this is the end
defeat is something essential
for someone to be humble
like the flower of bougainvillea
I have to cut my leaves
to make the flowers bloom
a minor setback cannot define me
for the road is too far ahead
