Psalm of Life

Failing is never considered,

When the mind set of achievement is near.

Greatness is never obtained,

At the flick of a switch.

To search, is to utilize the time,

To achieve satisfaction.

Working can be like stepping on sharp, scornful glass,

When it feels like just another chore.

Believe with your heart,

And strive with your mind.

Cool, calm, and collect your thoughts,

Along with knowing the truth behind your wants.
