Success' Story!!

I

Before we can our Dreams reach
Inhabited by joys and cheers,
Comes a forest dark and thick—
The kingdom of Fears and Tears.
It’s a journey arduous and long
That every traveler has to take,
Before they get what they long,
Before their Dreams take real shape.
But once you enter this street
There’s no possible retreat
Until you win or embrace Defeat.

II

Trees devoid of flowers and leaves,
Disappointments buzzing flies
That lulls Hope forever to sleep,
Haunting soul piercing cries
That claws every afraid heart.
Delusions begin to whisper into the ears,
Misleading travelers to wrong path,
Where unfortunate few get cuts and scars
Who wish to stop or retreat.
But there’s no possible retreat,
Until you win or embrace Defeat.

III

Only the courageous few that still move on,
A ladder to their Dreams learn to make,
With wood of Courage, Will power strong,
Knowledge, Confidence, Belief and Faith.
Their experiences they brew and stir
To fuel the light of Insight,
Learn to extract gold from womb of Fear
And give every obstacle a good fight.
On success’ throne, they finally sit
Having never thought of retreat,
As victors they learn to defeat Defeat.
