Success Poem by Shanike Sydoney Palmer

There is not a war bigger
Than the one about success and defeat.
Its a journey about walking in the rain
to subdue each pain, of chasing unknown limits-
To compete with none but ourselves.

We live and we learn
growing with wings that flutters on the
edge of experience.
Being visible, yet invisible
To will and it is done,
towards a desired destination.

I want to win this war, emerging as myself
For I am who I am, else I wouldnt want this success.
I wouldnt fathom the journey, my wounded heart wouldnt
know how to heal.
Success is my journey towards a grand destiny for
many races with time, echoing the notes of a dream.

Yet the walls around me are like ice-
and ice melts.
