My Success

 All that I’ve wanted and

All that I’ll be

Is out there somewhere

Just waiting for me.

 

Beyond all the fog,

Opaqueness, and rust

My future is waiting;

I know that it must.

 

Calling me further,

My own motivation,

Waiting to give me

A standing ovation.

 

Daring and bold.

Won’t let me back down.

No matter my fight

It will stand its own ground.

 

“Enough is enough

I’ve had it, I’m through.”

Success will keep waiting,

Tried and true.

 

For no matter the struggle,

Or hardships ahead

Success will be waiting

Until I am dead.

 

Great are the challenges

Ahead I must face,

But all we be well

Within its warm embrace.

 

Hardships aplenty

Will stand in my way,

But dead set on my path

I’ll most certainly stay.

 

Instead of destruction

Or rotten demise,

Great things are my focus;

Determined, my eyes.

 

Just try and stop me

And see what you get.

Through darkness ahead

My path will be lit.

 

Kicking and screaming,

My troubles they flee.

Washed slowly away

Like sand in the sea.

 

Like many before me

And many to come,

I think life’s greatest challenge

Is hard to be won.

 

Many have failed,

But my course won’t deter.

But I hope that by now

That was easily inferred.

 

Nothing before

Have I wanted this bad.

The thoughts I have many;

The colors, myriad.

 

Oh! How it burns!

The desire, defeating,

But it’s always there

When my patience is fleeting.

 

Pushing me harder,

My drive to succeed.

“Never back down,”

My personal creed.

 

“Quitting, like failure

Is just not a choice.”

To fail to forget,

It aloud do I voice.

 

Ruin impossible.

My confidence peaking.

You can say I’m all talk,

But I’m more than just speaking.

 

Suppress all your fears,

And reflect on the good.

Be clear and precise.

Don’t be misunderstood.

 

Troubles, forget them

Their purpose is sole:

To tire and toil,

To work and to toll.

 

Upon the completion

Of my wildest dreams,

I’ll know that it’s true:

Life is what it seems.

 

Vigor will help

In your greatest endeavor.

You’ll never back down,

And you’ll never say never.

 

Without it’s effects

My life would seem dull.

It feels like a contract,

I won’t void and null.

 

Xerox these words

And I’ll read them often,

To cushion the blows;

I know they will soften.

 

“Yes!” is my word,

I don’t think it’s funny.

Regardless of weather,

I’ll always be sunny.

 

Zero to hero;

The top of the town.

All will be waiting

To see what I’ve found.

I amd so very impressed on many accounts. First, that you manage to get all those rhymes and not one seems forced at all. Second, that you can get something for each letter. Third, that you have so many stanzas and things aren't repeated. And fourth, that it's just great in general. I really enjoyed this, and it even had a good message, and the last one summed it all up nicely.

I LOVED IT! :-) This is one of the best poems I've read on this website. So creative and perfectly made.
