Days of Torment

Many people believe that

As long as you have potential

There should be success.

They believe that

There aren't any obstacles, situations or circumstances

That can hinder you and your progress.

They expect you to

Do a great job on the first try.

They believe that

There is no excuse for mistakes.

They believe that

You aren't trying, when you fail.

They believe that

You don't want to do something if

You don't succeed the first or second time you try.

They believe these things because

They don't have to go through the experiences.

They think it should be

A piece of cake for you because

They don't have to feel the weight of pressure

That has been put on you.

They don't have to feel

The strain that has been placed on

Your mind, body, and spirit.

They believe that

If a mistake is made

It is because you don't have

The will, desire, nor ambition

To do what they believe you

Were meant to do.

In this moment of time

They don't acknowledge that

You are only human

That you are not perfect

That you can and most likely

Will make mistakes.

They can't see the damage

The stress nor the harm they

Cause you to feel.

They don't see that you

Are capable of feeling

Depression, sadness, inferiority,

And other dark emotions.

They don't see that

They are the hindrance

to your possible

SUCCESS.
