Suckcess


At what price comes success?

Will it come at the cost of losing your health,

A friend,

A loved one because you are too busy.

Your own sanity, because all you think about is money?

What is success?

Is it not happiness?

Peace of mind, to be specific;

Sharing with those you love most,

Your friends and family.

Then why do you want to be something you're not meant to be?

Be you.

You are a success by just being you.

Learn to Live.

The birds live and yet they have less.

Why do you need so much stuff?

Stuff is not going to go with you anywhere.

It will just stay behind.

So use what you need.

But don't take more than you need,

At the expense of your Soul.

Stuff will just stay behind.

But all the times you shared with your friends and family,

That will remain.

A dream.

Your dream

Make it worthwhile to you.
