We Did It!

steadily churning
set-backs never held us down
the end goal achieved

Sedulous

always diligent
who shall do all that’s required
whatever it takes

Desperation Or Determination

these feelings though different are similar
they both drive you to action

but one eats at your being
and the other feeds your desires

Should Dreams Come True

there will be evidence
when you willingly, boldly and decisively
imprint hard work and determination
on your anatomy
immersing yourself whole-heartedly
in this thing called full-on participation in life

but be aware

your psyche may be littered with scars
from the constant battering of little or no results
all the efforts gone unnoticed
or even mocked mercilessly
by others who are too afraid to succeed
it’s not easy when you feel defeated

be happy when you get your rewards

if lady luck reigned on your parade
and watched you attain “the good life”
reaping all that you’ve needed and wanted
observing you enjoying living full-tilt
remember to be grateful for your success
raise a glass to yourself as well

and be generous to others

i slowly unwrapped the darkness from my shoulders
my future
in the cards it seems
the possible
what is determined by me it seems
but is it
i want the control
is it really mine

Behold

Inspired by Sadje’s What do you see #156

with optimism and feral determination
life needs to fear me
the sun may set
but i’m coming up
hitting all the right marks
willing to do what it takes
success is the end result

i am all powerful
