Success And Us Poem by Ojaswi Machiraju

Success And Us



Addicted to formal education
Failing to notice this primitive mutation
We make the big names
We waste ourselves trying to make it there
Work was never same
It's always a different game
What drives us?
Is it the Gandhi soaked paper
or the printed presidents
No matter the wealth
Nor the power we crave for
There will always be
A difference of one step between us and success

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

In a calculated life that we lead, we often fall short of success by one step. The key is to resume from that (n-1) th step than starting all over again from the 1st step. The experience we had, the pleasure we obtained, the pain we braved will always be with us irrespective of success or failure. I would say that experience makes a life - success & failures are all relative terms; experience is absolute at least till our death.
