Excellence
EXCELLENCE
Sometimes life is like a see-saw
You tend to swing up and down
Going up higher and higher
And coming down lower and lower
Only to see yourself up again……. Possibly higher than before
Viewing life from that perspective
You get to see that to go higher the force pushing you should be greater
So you hide your fears of falling
And persevering, you go through the hardships of life
Sometimes you feel you're imprisoned in a cell
Yet you try so hard to excel
So you merge your cells together
Column by column
Creating more space to showcase your work
Thriving through thick and thin
Viewing the thorns as flowers
Knowing that at the end of the tunnel
Is the light
So bright,
And so fixed are your eyes, that you do not even stop to listen to the lies,
Only to realize that, negative words tend to hinder progress
I may be speaking in parables
But my message is simple
Life is too early to give up
They say opportunity comes once
But there are a million opportunities you haven't yet created
You may stumble, fall, break and cry
But rise, get your broken pieces together
Piece to piece heal your shattered dreams and overcome
There are more within your inner man than you know
The Wright brothers were right when they witnessed the birds fly
Don't be discouraged when your ideas are ridiculed
Your plane may take time to go into the atmosphere
It may begin with small distances
But a day will come when it'll shoot up
Higher than you even imagined
Higher than the world has ever witnessed
Life is too early to give up
There are more great things ahead
Life is like the see-saw
Know that, a time will come for you to rise again
Life is like a prison
But to excel
You'll need to merge your cells
Row by row, and column by column
To create a bigger working space
And Life is full of hidden opportunities to excellence
