The Enemy Success

The Enemy Success 

Success whispers in your ear - 
"you have arrived
for awhile let's rest here".
We sit and bask in what we have achieved
and never realise we are being decieved
because we cannot see
what else from within ourselves we can retrieve.
We begin to think - 
"there is nothing better in this world
than what we have now.
and we allow
complacency to take reign
and suffer the pain,
of the wasted years
when we settled for less, 
instead of giving more than our best.
If only we believed
there was more to achieve than the present fame
which fades under the pressure of 
misguided vain.
