This unfamiliar taste in my mouth
the taste of success.
Once, I never thought I’d ever taste it.
I’ve always suffered from a lack of intelligence,
a lack of luck.
Then, suddenly, I keep striking gold,
constantly.

What has changed?
Why am I getting this sudden burst of luck?
What is the reason?
Did I miss something?

This feeling is so strange.
I don’t think I could’ve prepared myself for this moment.
As I stand in front of everyone,
as they congratulate me for my success,
this has never happened to me.

I need to pinch myself
maybe I’m still deep in sleep,
lost in a dream.

I wonder
is this how everyone feels when they taste success?
Meant with self-doubt and confusion,
or do others step into success with certainty,
mentally prepared for it?

I guess my prayers finally worked.
Maybe this is what was meant for me.
It could be…
for sure.
