Successes and Slip-ups

Celebration for a graduation
Punishment for a mistake

We love to live in success, and spotlights;
And hate to be seen as failures

Which causes a question
Why don't we always try our hardest?

Constantly beating ourselves up
Just because we didn't do something right

does it seem right,
to be so harsh on ones self?

We may not always be able to try again
But can't we try new ideas and learn?

Perhaps we deserve what we do to ourselves
Perhaps we feel victimized by others

But our successes make us so happy
They are achievements that we did

Why should all those bad thoughts and failures weigh us down?
Forget them they don't make you feel good

Just think of all the people who are proud of you for what went right
Think about what you've done to make yourself happy

if the lives of people are good then they are successful
then they can proceed with more successes

A Success Belongs to Those Who Try

I miss the man who reads a story
I can't find a way to meet the woman who sings
I am too nervous to find the playwright

I cannot fear who I do not know
And I cannot greet the stranger who shy's away

I wish to live
And be the friend, the model, and the student,
Maybe even the teacher

To sit in a dark room
It does not suit the lively men, women, and children

Go out into the world
Be the success you dream of being

You cannot experience
What you don't chase after
And you cannot see
What you let hide from your eyes, mind, and soul

So ask the man desired to be
And find the success meant to be achieved
Find your dreams
Grasp them and don't let go

Don't release the running goal
It will try to escape you
Or it will give in and embrace you

Give yourself chances
And let others chance a her to himself
or a goddess to her own lively heart

what will begin
Will not necessarily relate to what end comes about
