What's Achievable is NOT Accessible, It's About being Applicable


When is my time to shine to come? Is it coming at all? Should I give it a call? O’ I hope there’s answers. I’m not a fan of gaping questions I’m talking the about the big shine Not likes on a witty social media post Or a round of applause for being a community show host Small time accolades are no friend of mine I long for a deserved standing ovation from time to time. I have big dreams and immense wishes. What right do I have to wish impossible things? What authority have I got to demand unrealistic dreams? I’ve got every right. I’ve got all the authority. I’ll achieve my hopes and dreams and show them I’m mighty. I come from a contradiction. There’s one calling me to greatness Encouraging the brilliance with in me The other begs mediocrity. To give into short-lived pleasures, heavily. NO decline that. YES, I will be great. I will shun hate. I will stir up the brilliance in me. Just you wait and see.
