Successful, to be or not to be
To be or not to be
successful, that is the question.
To answer one way or
the other could be misleading. Ya see,
To be successful is a
conscious decision.
Take the right steps;
follow your plan of action.
But, not to be, is a decision made
unconsciously.
It lurks in the back
of my mind, because
Failure is always only one step behind.
Success and Failure
are separated by such a fine line.
When everything works
out as it's designed,
It feels as if the
stars have magically aligned.
But on the flip, these
same stars can slip, and fall.
The fear of failure can
be the most dangerous fear of all.
It nags and eats away
at aspiration.
It traps me in a
world of endless questions.
It affects all aspects
of life. Like my education,
relationships,
career, and self-confidence.
It causes constant self-conflict and disrupts
inner peace.
Like a rabid dog, it feasts
on my self-esteem.
To succeed is all I want
to achieve, the thought of not receiving
The one thing that
drives me to be, can seem so paralyzing.
The road of regret is
a road of agony.
This is a road where
no one wants to be.
To conquer this fear,
I must free my mind of doubt.
Work hard for what I
want, day in and day out.
Learning from my
mistakes is key,
You only fail if you give up, something I don’t
do very easily.
To be successful is
my only option, and not to be
is just a figment of
my imagination.
