Longing For Success

I beckon to success
 
I roam under this perpetual failure
 
When will I reach your shore?
 
Am I success sure?
 
I cry in excess
 
For my vain lure.
 
 
 
I pray for the true pour
 
How do I scale through?
 
This blur mine to clear
 
Every effort is a vapour
 
The elders' words are true
 
To success is a fear.
 
 
 
Hear my heart's rhythm
 
My  faith last strength
 
How hard I have tried?
 
Please read me…
 
Faint is my health
 
Label my failure dried.
 
 
 
Crown me, an excellent radiance
 
A reason to style a dance...
