Being Successful
By Hobo
Being Successful
Success is measured by the amount of times
You consistently get back up after failure
It is not an exterior collective
It is not a fashion or a trend
And contrary to belief you cannot buy success
It is revealed in the strength of knowing
That failure cannot prevent you
From living your life to the fullest
And not being compromised
By levels of human and spiritual indifference
Success is the condition of consistent positivity
That is re-created inside your heart
And wishes no mirrored malevolent recompense
To other souls that have tried to destroy it
It is patient in circumstance
Circumnavigating potential paradoxes
Of irony and injustice
By overcoming them
By standing up
After they laid holes in the road
To watch you fall
In the hope you would stay down
And join them in waiting
For the downfall of others
You are not a failure
You have failed to compromise
To majority reason
You have been scarred
Yes but not to the effect of apathy
You keep standing
It doesn’t matter about anything else
You are alive
You are able to feel
You have hope
Your dreams are still real
You do not wish to escape
You resemble success
And success resembles you as being
A being that is successful
