Resented Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A success one gets,
That to others appear easy to obtain...
Will always be resented,
If one can not explain...
How their success to them came.

'Can you tell me what steps you took,
To ensure your success? '

~All I did was to sacrifice.
With little to eat and not much rest.
Years spent in self doubt.
And totally without appreciation.
Neither to wish it or expect.
And living to remain focused with a purpose.~

'Comeon. Be serious.'

~Okay.
I did nothing.
And one day I was just lucky.
That's the kind of life I have.~
