The Price Of Success Poem by Viola Akhigbe

Do not be deceived
Again I say, do not be deceived –
For every prize, there is a price
For every success, a sacrifice
The bigger the prize, the higher the price
But for success, it will suffice.

No, success isn't achieved just because we want it;
Success is achieved because we pay for it
We pay with time and effort and money and more
We pay at every instance we want some more
So cease from the delusion that you’ll get yours for free
Ask the people before you, it’s never been free.
