Successful people

From time to time, I'm deep into poetry and can't get out until I create something. Now, at 2:43 AM, I decided to share one of my poems with my small audience :) Hope it will be useful and inspiring.

Successful people

Climbing the mountain’s top
The man decided to start.
From now on his actions and dreams
Are not separated, apart.

He approached the mountain’s foot,
Where he saw the sentence on stone:
“I’m starting to climb the mountain.”
Now man knows, he is not alone.

After hours and hours of climbing,
When the man’s weakened belief,
He notices another writing:
“I was here.”- on stone under leaf.

Now he knows, someone went even further,
And again his power is high,
Just because of simple idea:
“Someone did, so can do I!”.

But no matter how hard he tries,
And comes over the struggles and pain,
There are written just simple 3 words,
“I was here.” - irrefutable claim...

“How hardy indeed is this person?!
Would be great, if he helps me to climb.
How he does that? I can’t imagine!”
- were thoughts in exhausted man’s mind...

Almost dead and very tired,
He slowly reaches the top of the stone
To see the shocking and striking scene,
“I was” - written there alone.

And he sees someone laying in front,
With small piece of the chalk in his hand.
Person’s legs were faded to blood,
So were knees, tied up with the band...

Only now man understood,
He was blind and wrong in his thoughts!
Only now he sees all the struggle,
That resulted in simple 3 words.

And indeed when we see someone high,
We are somehow blind at all.
We don’t think of all the struggles,
We don’t look behind the wall...
