Success
By: Crystal ‘Clear’ Coburn

All the people around me
seem to be wishing me the best
To be ahead in this monetary game
By increasing my monetary gain
Success

I can’t help but feel the pressure of completion
To finish with a title
A clear-cut distinction
Is it wrong of me
to waiver in search of something more?
I feel like turning in
Find the place less explored

I’m sharing my thoughts of doubt
Because I feel the intense need to
Hoping you’ll understand
And reply with a, “Me too!”
I’m at a point now
where all I want to do is write
Make lives just a little better
Possibly to ignite
That place inside of you
that has tingled and become slightly unnerved
I have been there too
Knowing which way to turn

Sometimes taking up residence
a little to often
So I allow my pen to pick up and take over
Seep out held in thoughts when
I was unsure of myself and the decisions I made
Too nervous or anxious?
Definitely afraid

But I’m here now
So I hope you can hear now
Join me and lets engage

Peace.
