Success

Success 
 
I may stumble and fall, but I will succeed 
Just to know what it’s like is why I believe 
Who holds a torch and who has the honor 
But he who led strife down a path to fire 
From a burning desire from temptation to determination 
Temptations to deviate off this path for a moment of relaxation 
Like we are in sync – I have to place God first in line – and think 
Use my mind as gravitation for positivity – what is success 
Success is me 
 
How, what, where, and when 
Can be all juggled in one thought 
But the how, what, where, and whens 
Can all be derived from one’s heart 
The questions is how far can you take it 
How far do you wanna go 
How much can you withstand to make it 
And are you willing to die to grow 
Pride fails but humbleness achieves – what is success 
Success is me
