Often we feel like we are
spitting into the wind

things fail
before they begin

egos,pride
clicks and games
I dont abide
or drop names

how is success measured
what success is treasured

for some
it is finacial gain
for others it is
building a name

true success cannot be measured
 by dollars or cents
or comments

when one has touched
the heart
and
reached the soul

this is true success
this is the goal

frustrations
abound in the endevoures
of life
words cut deep
like a knife

becoming comfortable
with your true self
no longer keeping valuable pieces of yourself
on a shelf

This to is success

to many present themselves
as their work
or
as their car or house
to many present themselves as their shirt
or
their blouse
forgetting
it is they
who are the true star

materialism is not success
I dont care to meet
your house
or
your car
but
I would like to meet
that star
whom
you are
