The success-gurus
exhorted me to 'think big'
I was unmoved
by their carrot-stick-

what if I were
to remain small?
Would it affect
me at all?

Did they know me
better than I did?
Were they the seers
why me they should pick?

This would be my response:
Your bidding me to think big
wouldn't work on me
my thinking small does me neatly fit!
