For fear of success
We hide in shadows
And claim no opportunity.
And we watch the others
climb and rise.
Then call them enemy.
But who is the enemy?
Sabotaging a beautifully
Paved road?
Who runs the other way
And sits comfortable
In the known?
We can’t cry foulplay..
Unfair, inequality.
When dozing
night and day.
Can’t claim anything
But our own lack
of motivation.
Stuck in our own
Selfish way.
For fear of moving forward
Why cry fear of defeat.
And shrug off every encounter
That offers possibility.
Then there’s laziness.
Waiting for success to drop
From the sky.
“I don’t do hard work”,
“I won’t commit to this”.
“I’ll stay right here
Where the land is dry”.
Afraid to get your feet wet?
Your hands dirty?
Wrinkle up your clothes?
Life takes hard work and dedication.
Determination and motivation.
As every successful person knows.
So stand up,
Make your bed.
Brush your teeth
Get dressed.
Stand for something more
Than ‘my right’
and
Whatever that means.
Be more than laziness
And whining.
This is 2019.
With endless opportunities
If you’re willing to focus on you
Instead of cry offensiveness,
And never do what
you need to do.
