Hunger To Succeed

sit, think, feel
the hunger to achieve, to succeed,
in a world full of possibilities
for each and every person
     see your future
     watch your steps among the pebbles
     within grasp of febble fingers
     willing to hold on, to feel safe,
     but, deep down, insecure
grab what is real,
knowing everything is uncertain,
but believe in the choices
you make can and will change
life as you know it
     sit, think, feel your future
     unfold with every choice made
     hold on, not too tight,
     things chould change in a second
but always believe, always know
you can and will succeed
feel that hunger to succeed
