snap, snap, snap

Inadequate
For a mere second, on the top of the world
Couldn't be happier

Until comparison
sweeps all that bliss up
Leaving empty accomplishments
Far away ambitions
Unfinished success

Hard work
Perseverance
Meaningless
None of it matters, not good enough
Negativity, takes over

A smile
so easily forgotten
Aspired perfection
Unattainable
Unreasonable
An impossible nirvana
full of empty promises

Life without direction
Yet
Each step taken
Every choice made
lead to one moment
Not good, not bad
But real

You
In natures glory
Anything but helpless
Whomever
you choose to be

Stopping, no longer an option
A light inside flickers
to hope
Original, unique
None quite like
You
reason enough to smile.
