In my dreams I live
I dream of dreams
Ones I never want to wake from
Dreams of succeeding 
Dreams of inspiring 
Dreams of being

So I dream...

Succeeding is like

Solving puzzles,

All opportunities are

There but scattered confusingly

Trick is to find

The right pieces in right time ??...

Daredevil Jim always let it be known,
first time succeeding most times is blown,
and his theory is right
for on his first flight …
Jim should have left skydiving alone....

Halloween spider queen, I did attend
Wig, stockings, black dress, makeup, heels, suspend
Whistles and catcalls they came.
Mystical night all the same,
I had such fun, succeeding this pretend....

I rise from the deep sea;
I stay above so I can see;
I wish I never saw;
I reap what I sow.

Ringing is the alarm;
Strength is staying calm;
Succeeding is the challenge;
Hope is the coming change....

I could have been a golfer
If I listened to my coaches
Who foretold it
But what sheer talent cant buy
Is the hours put bye
Bye those who try
And end up succeeding
Because talent early
Is so often misleading...

Storm swept seas assault the shore
Lashing out with rage unsated
Attacking with the wrath of Thor
Oceans temper unabated

Reaching out with icy hands
Fists of foam grip granite walls
Succeeding not with it's demands
Retreats to Poseidon's halls...

A frail boat our transient existence seems to be

Sailing over an ocean of tears of grief and joy

Daily we are toiling on the course our ship to keep 

By succeeding the precepts God gave us to employ!

The tears I try to hold back,
Succeeding I lack,
They run down my face,
I feel disgraced,
I am really done,
I try to run,
Something stops me,
Is this who I want to be?
The girl that goes running away,
I won't be her not any day,
Not in anyway,
Especially not today....

Black 
and 
White.
Similar 
and
Indifferent.
Wanting 
the 
Light...
Going 
and 
sent.
Laughing
and 
Shining,
Smiling
and 
Shivering.
Growing
and 
Reaching,
Succeeding
and 
Failing.
Shaking 
and 
Bleeding.
Lying 
and
Learning,
Loving
and 
Dying....

Let Them Talk... 

If they keep talking
keep walking
if they keep gossiping
keep ignoring
if they keep cursing
keep on blessing
if they keep on insulting
keep on praying
if they keep discouraging
keep hard-working
keep succeeding
keep winning.

Almost reaching desired dreams...
requiring, pushing all I achieved.
Failing, attempting many times before...
conjuring, struggling and so much more!
Loving support from friends and family.
Thankful for, making my dream a reality.
Finally succeeding, always striving
to conquer my dreams ever thriving!...

odds
                      opposed, risky
          defying, prevailing, predicting
probabilities, chances, finalities, conclusion
       extending, completing, succeeding
                      halt, terminate
                            ends...

fools
                misguided, gullible
        blundering, stultifying, erring
dunderheads, imbeciles, rajas, emperors
     reigning, succeeding, conquering
                 powerful, mighty
                         kings

Confused arising  
Seeking, searching, scrutinizing. . .
Succeeding.
Conniving, cutlasses, smirking swords;
Silently mocking, laughing at my doom.
Glaring, glowering, with a gleam in their eye.
Eerie eye patches, sneering smiles;
Sinisterly scheming, anticipating gloom.
Creeping, crawling, cringing. . .
Complete. 
Concrete awakening....

Like cancer, it eats away
Can't push it down, feel the fray.
Heart pounding and racing
Akin, to never endless chasing.
Lack of air, can't catch my breath
Agony that feels so close to death.
Plethora of fuel from every direction
Souls destruction, it's simple intention.
Eroding all else away, 
Succeeding, itself all that's left to stay....

Never doubt your ability to succeed
Pressing toward your ultimate goal,
Your eye on the green light, proceed
Never doubt your ability to succeed,
Even if no one believes in you, indeed
Your eventual success you can control
Never doubt your ability to succeed
Pressing toward your ultimate goal.

Caught, 
Sinking in lies, suffocating in life 
All a trap by a thought meant to wreak 
Meant to bring awe in those who felt blind
Hope in those who felt lost to despair
A fighting chance to those who were about to desist
But I'm caught, caught trying not succeeding 
Caught going but not arriving
Life is now my captor
And despair is now my home....

The fear of failure.
Afraid to accomplish goals
For fear of not being able
To live up to past success
In the future.
Fear that people will start
Expecting too much.
And fear of not
Being able to live up to
Their ideals and expectations.
Fear that if I don't live up
To others' ideals, as well as my own,
That I will be looked down upon
And outcast....
