Best

The argument that if things were not as hectic,
if conditions were somehow better,
then one's performance or results would have been at their best.

However, there will be given circumstances,
although we sometimes are the reason for those state of affairs,
and we will be required to work and perform under them

No matter how disadvantaged,
how lacking,
how crappy,
Those are the conditions you are given,
One's best is when they make the best out of them
Not when they are given optimum surroundings to perform.

In fact, when the conditions are optimum,
there is no reason to fail,
no reason to be that close and not get it.'

So, doing your best is best.
The outcome matters but
your effort in it,
Just as much.
