the preface
of your success
is learning to face
your failure with grace,
and then identifying
your shortcomings to address,
and then prepare yourself
to give your best....

A dark path lies ahead of her,
Should she flee or should she go?
No way to know how it would end,
If it leads to success or just a dead end.
دema flutter Jan 2020
trust that you can,
learn to be motivated
believe in your potential
and love to thrive.
Isaac Spencer Jan 2020
Poetry-
Doesn't send shivers down my spine,
When I write it,
If only I could ignite it!

Oh, the only art I've got,
And it chokes me so,
Why can't I just let it go?
These words fall on deaf eyes.

Doesn't it crush your spirit?
Or, do people watch you?
Tell me, how I might strum their heartstrings,
And bring these ones and ohs to life.

Once upon a time
There was a passion,
Like burning fire,
Boiling water,
Saturated with desire.
The thirst of needing to be seen,
To be heard,
To be free as a soaring bird
Was unquenchable and
Unquestionable.

It was so clear
It ruled out the anxiety
And the fear
Of being judged
Being wrong
And being crushed.

Now that passion has burned out,
Drained,
Pale;
What is left is the anxiety
The possibility
To fail.

When I finally found the fly-swatter,
I couldn't find the fly.
Such was my excuse,
Why I didn't swat the fly.
Preparedness and opportunity equals success.

Stains are seen
Then when we are clean.
Faults become sin
From what we've been.
When fortunes are green,
Hearts become mean.
Those who aren't successful do not lack something to say against those who leave the common grounds, those who succeed.

Sometimes all it takes
Is to realize that you’re awake.
The change that you dream of,
Is in your hands and not miles away.

The grass may seem greener from where you stand,
But to the fellow across the pond,
You have it all right in your hands,
And you’re a fool in paradise,
Wishing for something you already have.

When the light seems far away
Don’t turn around, keep walking straight
You’ll notice that no matter how far you get,
Your first step is what takes you miles away,
To the place where it all will change,
And it will feel like yesterday,
That you were running and now you’re making waves.

There is always another side,
The light at the end of the tunnel,
You just have to open your eyes,
To see that you’ve already reached it.
Let today shine bright
Choose my attitude this hour
Every thought I think
Spreads and ripples on with power
All the seeds I plant
Will in time bear fruit and flower
Today let my light shine bright

Choose well, for today I lose or win
Stand firm in the way that I begin
Stay bold, when others say to wait
Act today, before it grows too late

My success is sure
When I’m focused on today
And the prize I’ll gain
Helping others on the way
And my wealth will grow
When I confidently say
Today let my light shine bright

Choose well, for today I lose or win
Stand firm in the way that I begin
Stay bold, when others say to wait
Act today, before it grows too late

Let this be one giant collaboration throughout the years.
Let this be a reminder of who you were.
And what I wanted for you.

Never forget about the 3 successes.
Never forget about our dreams.

Stresses we had to endure.
And the amazing people we got to meet.

Don’t ever let your hubris get the best of you.
Don’t think that’s what it means to be new.

Change was never a bad thing.
Change to the worse is what’s frightening.

Remember the experiments.
Remember your instantly.
When you punched the walls.
In an outburst of profanity.

Avoid those who seek your downfall.
When life knocks you down.
Get up, and stand tall.

Never forget those who took advantages of your gullibility.
Learn to have tolerance and expand its capacity.

The world isn’t tolerant to those who are weak.
We don’t follow packs.
Because we are the freaks.

This was never meant to be rhymed.
It was a message in my diary.
But what a better way.
To hype my future with a poem that’s fiery!
I wouldn't call it a poem, since it follows not proper rhythmic rules.
But I just felt like posting it after accidently rhyming the first few sentences in it
