A LITTLE LATE
Sometimes I win tests and fight battles
That I shouldn't have to endure
I could open my mouth and end it
But then I would never be sure
If things could have gone another way
So I shove my tail between my legs
And that is where it stays
It's so much easier to speak up
To push the other down
But the harder way's a victory
That comes without a sound
No cheers or adulation
No banners or tickertape
But the victory's 1000 times
It just comes a little late
