The Standards of Success

Under the watch that we're waiting to kill
lie our choices, directions,
and options to sort through while keeping still,
but voiced interjections


become ultimatums and others opinions are the sociable kind,
that crowd up your thoughts and eat up your mind.


Hundreds of fingers shaking objections
to the path you decide, while they're

simply a figment and not verbalized by anyones voice,

it's still hard to find belief in the fact that it's not

what they whisper to make a connection.

 

But if you absolve your organ of thought

and remain calm under fictitous perceptions

you may just breathe easy and forget the lot

and do what appeals toward your thoughts of perfection

Author notes

This prose is about the challenge that we all eventually face and that is; What do we do with our lives or are we making the right life choices? It is up for debate, but I often feel like there is some sort of imaginary finger saying "You're not living up to the standards of a NORMAL life". When you're being complacent or you get into a nice routine or groove, that you aren't living to a full potential , but then you have all of these different opinions on what a successful person is. At least I feel that way sometimes....

    Quite strange that I should read this now - when I'm currently emailing a friend about how she wishes she'd made better choices with her life...

    I really enjoyed this piece, and I commend you for writing it

    As a person who has (in the past) made the worst choices possible - this really spoke to me. At the time, we're unsure... but hindsight can be a harsh slap to the face sometimes. I wish there was a way to see a situation clearly while we're still IN IT... but, can't see the forest for the trees... etc...

    Great write - well done
