Success (In The Making)

 Success (In The Making)

One may feel so helpless

Stuck in a box so lifeless

In order to build one’s dreams, one requires tools

Searching deep in one’s pocket only to pull out nothing like fools

This frustration is killing but is part of the making

As one claws through the dust

Crossing fingers not to get lost

In the hopes of the future, one has to sacrifice

Praying one meets the right folks to seek refuge and advice

This uncertainty is killing but is so vital in the Making

One may feel so little

But one can win this battle

So don’t you dare laugh out too loud

Cos to your sun, one becomes the cloud

It will be too late when you’d realize, one was in the process of the making.

You can sit and wonder how you would have been helpful

As the flames of guilt burns you for not being available and useful

For in the end if one trys ,one way or the other, one will definitely make it.

Hey Cleo!!.......first I'd like to apologize ~ for referring to you as a man.........I can't believe you haven't corrected me.......after all I think I called you brother, and man (smiles)........I'm so sorry I don't know what made me think you were a male..........I think it's because I know a guy named Cleo (by the way, I haven't already apologized for this have I?) ~ I sometimes write so much that I forget...........anyway, I enjoyed your write.........it seemed to come from an honest place but I wasn't positive of the end game........were you saying that sometimes a person needs a hand up & that asking for help is often the only way.........because I totally agree with that idea...........there are times in life when you have to check your pride at the door and ask for the help you need..............you have a compelling way of turning a phrase my friend...........keep up the good work girlfriend!!.........smiles............T xo

Hi Tony, It's ok My Cyber Friend. The write is a mixture of how one try to make it in life, achieve one's dream and purpose, while some folks mock and laugh and others would offer no help if they could. I totally agree with you as regards pride,asking for the right people for help is a way out in life. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Lots of love and hugs. Cheers.
