SUCCESS

Success has no address
NO landmark

No calling Card
But the path is steep
And some will take the elevator
But i will take the stairs

Some will get there faster
But I'll get there stronger
And adversity will be my
Traveling companion

Because When i get there.
I can turn to adversity and say,
So long...


And heave the bag of taunts
and insults I gathered
along the way, and scatter them
to the birds.

I will miss them
But feel lighter

Yes
That will be the day
When I stand at
a large bay window
And unclench my fist

For there will be no more
odds to conquer
Not even in the "MIND"

SURVIVAL

I'm not a star
There is no Halo over my head

Fate doesn't like the colour of my eyes
Struggle and strife are old friends of mine

Who am i?
I'm survival. I'm guts. I'm pride

I like odds
especially when they're
stacked against me

Because there'll come a time
When I'll stare them in the eye

And smile the smile of
the one who's pulled it off

I am the guy who will have
deep lines on his face someday

And it'll make me look good
When i laugh

Because that is the day
I'll fear no fear

And taste sweat that is sweet

And look back for the
very first time and say,

I did it my way
The long hard way!

Stubborn

When i left college they said
I was being stubborn

When i was leaving home
My DAD said I was stubborn

When I left my first job
the boss said I was too stubborn

Well.........

I hope they're right
Bercause I hate hammocks
And i don't believe in
half days
Or long weekends

NO

I will not take life as it comes
I'll scratch and claw
And fight it every step of the way

For I have met fate
She can be pretty mean
When she's not in the mood

So I'll collect all those
Words of discouragement and
make paper rockets out of them

And fly them in
a strong cross wind

Society has a name for
guys like me

"Stubborn"
