Sucess Poem by Jason Callender

sucess is a road
that you will have to walk alone
ever since i was young
i was told what could be done
because i had asthma
i was limited
but i didnt make it limit the things i did
i had to work harder
i had to be smarter
because i was at a disadvantage
and knew what i could handle
i made a limit
that was it
then i pushed it
to the limit
allot of people do not know
but i was alone
in the cold one night
of my life
i decided to stay alive
and so all alone
in the cold in a country i did not know
i decided to go
into my mind
and make a way
to survive
then i felt alive
for the first time
it made me smile
then i realized
that i didnt need anyone by my side
life is a competition
and everyone
wants to be number one
but i realized a long time ago i already won! ! !
