Success

Location

We all dream of success, whether big dreams or small victories

from a young age, we crave it like we know no other

like all of our other brothers

or our fathers and mothers, who have fought so hard

for us to pursue that success

or to be able to wake up and dream of things bigger than their imagination

we all say we want success

so why are we not all successful?

those who do achieve it, are no more than the others

except they share the trait

they are considered great, and tune out all hate

they walk a quiet path of broken dreams

and experience failures worse than our biggest fears

yet they continue on, as a march where no one can stop them

where every defeat is simply coal of a train engine

used to fuel their fight in life longer

for every defeat, is a taste where they can feel success in their bones

those successful people have what it takes

they can achieve what we all want

the task may seem to daunt

but in the end, we all dream and want success

 

-Anthony Garvin
