Success

by joe-morris

I have a fear of success What’s to come after When you’ve achieved your dreams Do you become dormant Or form new ones Are we stretching for goals Every second of our lives A slave to our own brains That never stop running I fear success.. Due to it not being enough I cannot finish a race Just to start another My lungs have a capacity They’re already burning Losing their motivation rapidly What is being happy If there’s always more to chase A world pushing you to have more A world punishing you for existing A world manipulating you to do more and more To just exist Would be a drug of bliss The devil keeps it to himself Or maybe it’s god Holding it in front of us to bide to his will To his thoughts of how we should be It is impossible to break free Closest you come is by having so many paper bills Paper that society has pushed upon us to live our lives Paper that becomes our air A deep fresh breath is full of pollution Of tainted beliefs
