HAS SUCCESS HIT ME YET?

Success may elude us,

I often ask why?

Some people have it,

While others just try.

If, Dues, are the subject,

Are they just a debt?

Or do all have to pay them

With tears, blood, and sweat!

I look at some people,

Have the world on a string.

Are they happy? Successful?—

The thought begs the question…does success leave a sting?

Success…is it felt?

Or a matter of mind?

Is it a label that’s given?

To those who seem kind.

An Einstein? An Edison?

A Christian Dior?

A genius, inventor,

A label for sure.

Will I feel successful?

Sometime, I should bet.

Who will tell me I am?

Has success hit me yet?

Will I see it? Or know it?

To hold in my hand?—

A plaque may be given

For those who do grand!

Is success in the mind?

Is it found in the heart?

Is this what success is?

Or…can I just play the part!
