"achiever" poems
If Success was Happiness
Then achievers would be glad
But look around and you will find
That many of them are sad
Of course, Achievement gives joy
And excitement, oh boy!
But when our need becomes our greed
To misery, this will lead
The whole world is chasing Success
Everyone wants achievement
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose
There is no Contentment
Why do people want to succeed?
Why is everyone in a race?
The Truth is that we want to win
So that there is a smile on our face
But though we win, we are not glad
We have money, why are we sad?
Happiness is not money, the sages said
It's sleeping soundly when you are in bed
We hear of suicides in the homes of the rich
If they were Happy, then why this glitch?
Although they are achievers, this fact we know
They are not Happy, their face has no glow
If successful, but unhappy, what is the use?
Winning or smiling, what would you choose?
The purpose of Success is for us to be glad
What is the use of winning, if it makes us sad?
Happiness is something different, we learn
Not just money that we earn and burn
Happiness is built on a foundation of peace
Then we are blissful like waves in the seas
Look around at the people who are glad
They live in the moment, they are never sad
They don't swing from the future to the past
They are the ones whose Happiness lasts
Happiness has no price tag, know this my friend
It's a state of mind where nothing can offend
It's being able to smile, and able to laugh
Not just trying to raise our Success graph
We can't measure joy in dollar and pound
Happy is he who peace has found
Though we may fly the world around
We may be miserable on the ground
Success is not Happiness, this Truth we must know
We may have everything, what's the use of this show?
The truly successful one is he
Who lives with smile, laughter, and glee
If one is Happy, then one has achieved all
One doesn't have to be rich and in fame be tall
One can have little, but if content is he
Then he can live joyously
Achievement gives Happiness, this fact we know
But with Fulfilment and Contentment, does Happiness grow
One who is Happy, doesn't need to win
He has Peace and Joy without committing sin
Joy doesn't need a foundation of cash
One doesn't have to be rich, to enjoy life's bash
Happiness is a simple state of the mind
It comes from being loving, it comes from being Kind
Happiness is Success. It is achieving life's goal
It is being Happy in the heart, Peaceful in the Soul
True Happiness is eternal, not just a moment of joy
It last's forever, it can’t be destroyed
Success is a journey of valleys and peaks
Life is a see-saw, there are laughs and squeaks
Success, unlike Happiness, doesn't last for long
But the truly Happy ones always sing a Happy song
So, Success is not Happiness, Happiness is Success
You may be an achiever, whose heart is not at rest
But though not successful, if Happy you are
Then you are an achiever, you are the very best

They call it a 'Class War"
They call it a "War of Liberation"
whilst its just another instance of white oppression
Childish, immature, mean and nasty underachievers
like the kid on the beach who kicks over others sandcastle
because they are better than the ******* castle he made
Like that that uncool dumb teen who scatters the board game
because he's now seen that he is losing and cannot win at all
like those ugly pimpled friends who would play gooseberry
and cock-blockers because they can't get nice dates of their own
like that bitter mad one who will spill ink over your white top
or new Trainers because he or she has old and ***** ones
They are all from the world of the sicko psychos and damaged
talent-less mean, envious, sad pathetic people going nowhere
If I can't make it, why should others do and be winners
They all graduate to the divisive politics of the ****** losers
Power is stopping progress and advancement because they are down
Power is bringing achievers and enterprise down they can's gain
Power is sabotaging all that is good because they are bad in all
Measly fetid minds they plot and conspire in gangrenous network
dolts, scums, unwashed losers and rejects of society, bottom feeders
Come join the Party, our specialty is chaos and disruption of winners
The pathetic jokes of the white West, losers in their own backyards
picks on an African who came from disadvantages to better them
better educated, more intelligent, cool and stylish in every way
pack full of potential, going places they can never go or reach
Our sick, mean spirited under-achievers, expert losers and scums
crawled on the war-path, riddled with envy, sick with jealousy
ruin his progress, oppose and disrupt a black man who doubles
efforts to achieve, what if losers try is given to them on a plate
What here is done for the greater good, what here is honorable
celebrated victories for psychos, racist underachievers I think not
peoples power? more sick, tormented, jealous n envious chicanery
anarchy jealousy, anarchy shame, anarchy racists, anarchy liars
One Single Black achiever demonstrates the inherent strength
and grace of our all our Ancestors against sick, persistent white oppression. That's the story here.
If its a fair war, why hide and go underground, why fight *****

My eyes are steady on the mission
I know when to hit the gas like an acceleration
Or when to slow it down like friction
I'll use previous wins for my motivation
Past losses and mistakes as my precautions
I refuse to be a prisoner of my own decisions
Rather, an achiever of my intentions
I don't know it all, so I'll ask questions
Instead of making silly assumptions
I won't chicken out, I have 100% dedication!

Spread your wings tonight,
And get ready to fly,
There is a life changing light,
Up there in the sky;
If you choose to stay back,
Definitely not with me,
No one stays in the dark,
And end up being free;
No matter how much the tears,
It won't be enough to wash your pain,
So join me lets overcome our fears,
There is so much out there to gain;
Remember this as we fly,
Make up your mind to see the light,
All you have to do is aim high,
Sucess is the only thing that's right;
So if you agree to fly with me,
We'll encourage eachother all the way,
Until we get there eventually,
And live happier lives every other day.

Beautiful blue berries
Blood red cherries…
Swirling in the night
Chocolate chip covered thief appearing with fright
The beat of the candy heart vibrates with weak deliciousness
While the frozen dessert screams its loyal wickedness
There was a flaw in the meal
For the law wasn’t happy and signed the seal
A perfect good journey turns into a nightmare
The monstrous ice cream still screaming its snare
And now the story rises
As the peanut butter footsteps arrives and surprises
A strawberry invitation is handed to the achiever
Icy tears hangs like icicles from the law breaker
The peanut butter melts away and now the story reaches its ******
The salty eyes are now side tracked
Beautiful blue berries
Blood red cherries…
They suddenly disappear
The candy heart beat slows and is replaced with cold fear
Ice cream drips into silence cutting off its screams
Chocolate chip covered thief fades, leaving a ghost of its beams
The flashing thief in the night
Is finally gone, but the emptiness leaves a fright
Yea I was hungry and extremely frightened
So when the police stopped me, my imagination became deliciously enlightened

#*He is quiet and confident
Always does what is right
Quite a conversationalist
When relevant
Believes in keeping to himself
In a place of unknowns
Knowledge and wisdom his strength
Diligent and optimistic an achiever in life
Simple and good at heart
Understands and complements mine
Loves romantic songs
I am just the opposite
Can’t stand any
Retro is the only station, we listen to together in the car
Has little understanding or
interest of what I write
Yet, always listens to/ reads my scribbles
Our choices and tastes opposite as can be
Not, when it comes to matters of heart*#

The memories, the dreams
Spinning rings
silver and gold
those flashy things
I'd remember when old
gowns and caps
the attire of the achiever
I survived the traps
and the grand deceiver
graduation
prom
the grand tradition
even my mom..
I am the first
of my line
to give up on thirst
and mock the divine.
I am a dropout
I chose the hard way
to live without
what those papers say.
Reality
I live my life with a knife in my chest
bleeding my heart out you all know the rest
I hurt my beloved by not being there
even if I really did care.
I tried my hardest, it wasn't enough
I did my best to be tough
I can't give you 200% of a whole
even if it were my only goal
after all, you trained me as a robot
just like everyone else, all forgot
who I was, the second I left
I've tossed and turned and wept.
The memories, the dreams
torn away from me
ripped apart at the seams
and tossed to the sea.
Today was prom night
and I stayed home again
no shining light
never again...

What is it with Apollo,
that draws my heart like light doth to a sunflower?
Is it the solitude
that drew Apollo to the land of the Hyperboreans?
Is it the love
that he had for Daphne which made her a laurel tree?
What is it with Apollo,
that draws my heart like a bee to a honey-laden-flower?
Was it the over-achiever streak in him
which made him Zeus' favorite?
Was it the dark streak in his soul
that added to his romanticist persona?
Now I know that it is...
the depths to which Apollo went,
the jaws of Fate that Apollo bent,
the torrential dark thoughts that Apollo sent,
the hearts of mortals that Apollo rent.
And when HE said,
You're the only one...!
With my dead mind,
I'm a golden mine.
It's my benediction; it's my affliction!
What am I? Apollonian.

I am not the name upon the building
There is no shingle hung for me
But, if we walk into the forest
You'll see where it's carved upon a tree
I move in diferent circles
though I like who I've become
While my friends were busy studying
I was absorbing, having fun
I'm wrapped up in a blanket of academic non achieving
Too much time has passed me by to sit here now and grieving
I wear a cloak of non success that is a little worn
And just like me, it's tattered some and in places slightly torn
It doesn't matter one **** bit, I'm where I want to be
Making ripples in the water, that make their way out to the sea
I life life at a different speed
and Time it is my friend
Because just like those who studied hard
We're all dieing in the end
They won't outlive their building
Their name not there to see
But, deep down in the forest
My name's still on that tree
I'm wrapped up in a blanket of academic non achieving
Too much time has passed me by to sit here now and grieving
I wear a cloak of non success that is a little worn
And just like me, it's tattered some and in places slightly torn
They won't outlive their building
Their name not there to see
But, deep down in the forest
My name's still on that tree

I am a daughter a sister and a lover but a fighter when needed
I take what I can get but never give up hope that I may one day get more
I am a hopeless romantic and not afraid to admit it I am lost in a sea of dreams and not sure which way I should swim
People say I fall in love to quickly but maybe they don't fall fast enough
I am stubborn and doubtful I try not give into temptations or peer pressure
I am wild and crazy, loud and at times immature I am not afraid to say how I feel but then hesitate to make sure I don't hurt people
I am a friend I am overprotective and can go a little insane I try my best to make the ones I love happy I never fail to intertwine my dreams and my reality So I can one day say I achieved far beyond what was thought of me
I am an artist an athlete and a comedian I write how I feel, play to win and make others smile
I am gay but I don't let it define me I accept it I am proud of it
I am a one track mind with an old soul I am curly hair green eyes and talent that flows threw my bones
I try to be myself at all times I am a dreamer a believer and most of all I am an achiever Hoping that one day I find my place in this world and if I get lost I won't hesitate to stop and ask for directions
I am not afraid to chase my dreams even if they take me to the unknown I am more then what is shown on the outside I am more then you know

From the time I saw your face, I wanted to learn from you
So Baby teach the course I can really get into...
I wanna earn all the answers, every credit in chemistry
'Wanna be an over achiever, have you believing in me
I wanna have love lessons in your arms
I want my lips to learn from lips so warm
I want those learning curves to lead the way
To a Magna *** Laude someday
I wanna have love lessons in your arms
I like to analyze your smile down to the finest meaning
The homework is such fun it's almost like I'm dreaming
With you I'm in the fast lane and I pass the courses faster
Thanks for teaching me the ropes to help me get my Masters
CHORUS
Bridge:
'Wanna get my education while learning from the best
I wanna earn a PH D being the teacher's pet

They said that all that glittered was not always gold
And even your star-struck eyes couldn't be sold
for much of a profit; we were worth a little bit too much
even if half of us couldn't be bothered to give a
piece of the soul to the great big unknown
so you danced to the music and stayed within your zone
but your hips didn't quite move and your behind didn't quite shake
Exam season had you thinking that the last turn-up was a mistake
So you turn't down for everything to become a Top Achiever
and gave your soul to Cambridge because it's clear that you're a dreamer
And that's why your eyes became so suddenly star struck
And how suddenly a past paper was worth a little bit too much
But it was worth it because
Even if one year of your life passed you by...
Even if one year of your life passed you by...
Even if one year of your life passed you by....
...You still wrote your candidate number in sneakers looking fly.
So even though not all of us can become an A*
That doesn't mean that not all of us in life cannot go far
As written in the constellations are the particles of our star-dust
the whole is more than the sum of its parts and so are you my little star-struck
former IGCSE candidate.
See? You really were able to manage it.

Is this the hardest thing I’ve ever done?
Watching us crumble,
The foundation we built
Now cracked,
Splintered,
Like my heart.
Heartbreak isn't new,
But not like this -
I’m shattered and wrecked.
You're my confidant,
My mpenzi,
My darling,
My handsome man,
My kindhearted super achiever,
Joyful, yet so melancholic
Emotional, yet so light-hearted
Strong and vulnerable,
Brave,
But also so afraid,
What are you so afraid of, darling?
I wanted to shield you from the hurt,
Seeing you break shattered me in ways I couldn’t express.
My tears never came,
Only the sharp, silent ache,
A dagger twisting deep within.
Why do we have to say goodbye?
You belong in my heart
And I in yours.
I don’t know what comes next,
But I wish we could turn back -
Undo this hurt.
Yet, I wonder: do you truly love me?
Or are you afraid to admit it,
Caught in a complicated web?
Still, I love you,
Beyond all doubt.

I don't hangout with normal people, they do not see me as their equal,
I'm a strange, deranged mind who to them represents evil...
A pigeon who needs to be fed or fed on by an eagle
I guess your rough perceptions, and strong question never really did ever make for a sequel.
So lets end your story, poetic hunters feigning for glory...
Who cut our words short, adjectives, ****** and gory
And my complex thinking, they simply ignore me!
But they'll cause an action as soon as their pockets scream "poor me!"
I wonder if we're heading for a direction that we were in before me?
Turn a skeptic into a believer..
Turn a failure into a achiever..
Turn a group of hopeless followers into brave and bold leaders
Approach a woman with caution
She just may be a deceiver
Who prays on naive men, rips their hearts out and then mentally eats em!
Take life 12 rounds, don't let the knockout beat ya
Be your own star, don't settle for someone else's feature
I tend to over-think
What most of society thinks
I also sometimes wonder
If they'd help me if I ever sink?
I can't be to concerned
Disaster strikes in a blink
Learn to survive, too stay alive
If you wanna avoid jumping off the plank.
Ready to finish this song off
With a mind that is usually wrote off
Cause I think of society as a place where, media rules and we're all a cost
Breathing in fresh exhaust
While feeling the burn of the world's frost
Leaving the good people, hurt, in a daze and just all lost
My hands are bleeding freedom as I pray and hope for freedom
Locked up as a poetic peasant
Stuck in a mindless kingdom...
*Where the bad outweighs the good
Hunting on poetic thinking
Cause poetic minds are targeted and never understood!*

She’s a go-getter,
A real achiever,
Ambition burns her,
Dreams filled with fever.
Lipstick, red and slick,
Ears, gold spins and spirals,
Hair, long and beautifully curled,
Skin, supple and smoothly pearled.
Neck, exposed and proud,
Shoulders, open and marbled,
Chest, creamed and perfumed,
Hips, mini-skirted and revealed.
Posterior, raised and inviting,
Interior, poised and excited,
Exterior, rosy and aroused,
Inferior, dirty and discarded.
Money showers her at the town table,
Attention applauds her in the tabloid papers,
Men wine and dine her up and down the land,
Silken beds caress her shapely legs and soft hands.
Flaunted,
Used,
Abused,
Dreams sold.

There in that crevice, in that corner
buried in horror and humiliation:
a broken resolve, a frozen dream;
waiting in resurrection, guiding
us on, that still small voice
in the wilderness of the heart
that just never gets smothered.
There is a risen Lord in all of us, waiting
waiting to tide over, waiting to cross over;
Yes He finds us, when unsteady
faith is rocking in a hundred storms,
walking on the waters. Yes
the sea of Galilee is indeed here;
When in awe we sit by the doors
of that right reverend,
or that elevated achiever,
He allows our tears to wash his feet,
our hair to dry them up
and pours His simple love out;
He revives the dead in us; Yes,
He is death revived,
the resurrected Truth in us, the
eternal Hope of an unfamished fragrance.

The achiever meets the benefactor.
This can work quite well, provided that Cancer has no objections to the grand projects Capricorn frequently gets involved in and Capricorn allows Cancer to be in charge of their private sector.
Once they become attracted to one another, they're eager to solidify their relation and don't mind the prospect of building a home together. A family is fine, too. They mean it when they commit.
But they continue to compete about the leadership and about whose plans should win when they have conflicting intentions. The relation can be noisy at times, when the two strong wills collide, but they can take it. It's a process by which they improve their relation, even when it seems like the very opposite.
Actually, they are both stimulated by it. A lasting peace would make them confused and worried, sensing that something is missing and worrying that their love is fading.

Anger,
An over exxagarating under achiever,
Speaks to me.
Pulling me deep in myself.
Taking seat next to me.
Closing the blanket of skin around me.
The silence gets louder.
Hiding from my own worst intentions.
Wait it out,
He'll calm down.
His face flush with a smile;
A grin so malice.
Don't let him get stronger,
Doing his best to make it worse.
The rage is fading.
What happened?

The winter is over,
you can see with a flooding river,
I am now promising to be an achiever,
because the problems of the past are over.
In my heart I am creating a place for you
That is why l am sending you a black rose,
as a symbol for a new beginning,
in a new land with a new feeling.
All the pain that l have caused,
On my knees forgiveness l'm begging.
The door of happiness I have opened,
True love is all that l'm searching,
and in you heart that's where it is made.
That is why l am sending you a black rose,
as a symbol for a new beginning,
in a new land with a new feeling.
You and me together,forever
all the days of the past l can remember,
but all are gone coz now l am a problem solver,
This is the truth l can even guarantee,
because the bright future l can now see,
flying over beautiful flowers like a bee,
That's why l am sending you a black rose,
as a symbol of the new beginning,
in a new land with a new feeling,
the feeling with no ending

zig zag in its artsy ness on
the afghan blankets, on the
bench seat old tahoe. never have
i ever ****** the gym owner in my
over achiever bally sports bra / or
i lie all the time.
and, like,
you could be the pink alien in tassled chaps
or the singer/poet.

dialed the congressman and hung up,

Cute snowy-haired child
Sprinkles of freckles; gilded face
Tender spirit; meek and mild
Paints a glorious picture of grace
A child of December
The angel I remember
Gentle, this boy; and unpretentious
A quiet achiever; naturally gifted
Imaginative and conscientious
But even here you drifted
A boy of December
The angel I remember
Kind and selfless; not materialistic
Boy not boy and man not man; Seeking alone.
Always seeking. Exceptionally artistic
The gentlest of gentle I've known
A son of December
The angel I remember
The poet emerged
Words lingered on lips. And died. Unspoken.
Feelings buried. Submerged.
Lineage and ties broken.
A man of December
The angel I remember
