My writings: Poetry: What is success?

What is success?

Is it to be accepted
by people you
admire and love?

Is it to have the knowledge
that you are a part
of something bigger
something that gives
you a feeling of belonging?

Is it the steps
you've taken
to your goal?

Is it the feeling
of making a difference
in the world?


or...
Is it the forgiveness
you feel for
your and others'
failures
and shortcomings?

or...

is it a quiet hand
that calms your
thoughts
and gives you
serenity?
