SUCCESS 

Success will only be a success

if you learned from it.

Pulling some strings to get to the top

is never an easy one as those strings 

might snapback and strangle you.

There will be setbacks and blows

that will backfire on you.

Reversals may happen that will

definitely tie you to karma.

Having someone to put something

on your plate is never a reward.

Success should be attained through

many failures and sacrifices,

and though it's depressing

and discouragement defies your will,

have faith in yourself and believe in the workings of time-

the time for you to shine.

Success comes after arduous pain

and rigorous waiting.

Don't force your way damaging the course

of your success.

Success is pushing through but

Patience is also a virtue.

Dream. Believe. Survive. 

But be patient,

and don't forget your self-composure.
