Achievement



No matter how big or small,
One succeeds to achieve their success.
It still will take initiative,
Determination and sacrifice to realize...
The only thing given to receive and expect,
Is a headache from someone else.
Allowed to accept to tolerate patiently.
Until one refuses,
Giving time away like this...
To prioritize a recognizable nonsense.
Done to come from another incapable,
Of taking responsibility to be accountable...
For their own actions to distract purposely.

Achievement to eventually obtain to receive,
Takes both focus and telling folks...
Where it is they can go.
And left knowing what was said to hear heard,
Had been respectfully delivered.
Without hint of animosity.
That delays what one wishes to accomplish,
By someone wanting to argue,
As proof they too...
Can be successful at what they do best!

Being prepared to maneuver through,
Challenges and obstacles...
Takes the knowing,
A coin to toss will land...
Either face up or down.
There is no in between.
Or 'buts' to give up 'ifs' to explain.
Want to win the game of chess.
A 'stalemate' is just what it is.
Something stale to stall to mate with it.
Prevent it when possible.

'Meaning...what?'

Don't allow anyone,
To toss your coins without given permission.
Stay determined and focused,
On what you do to desire and wish succeeds.
If it is easy to get it is easier to be taken away.
