The definition
Of success
Eludes me
Much like the feeling
Itself
How can one put
Words to
Something so defined
By an arbitrary set
Or rules
By a system designed
By time
By half hearted
Smiles
And guarded jealousy
You can’t.
So them why
Do I strive
So hard,
To reach this elusive path
To walk this road
That thousands
Have martyred themselves
Upon
To no
Particular
fruit.
It seems absurd
That I spend the
Precious few
Waking hours
That this universe has granted me
To chase a definition
No one-
Let alone myself
Can define
So maybe I
Should take a look at my
Life
Good and hard
And really think
About the definitions
About the motivations
And most
Most
Most of all
About the person I am
And the one I am becoming.
You live and you die
And all through it
The two constants
Will only ever be
time
And you.
The definition
Of you
Matters more
Than word number
Who knows what
In a dictionary
On a dusty shelf.
It aways has.
It always will.
You. Just you.
