Success

There is a moment of match point,
when you are almost going to quite,
but you keep trying...
perhaps one more attempt will put you closer to your aim,
to that eureka moment.
Or you can just leave it all,
decide that Einstein was smart when
he said that repeating the same thing
expecting different results
is the definition of insanity.
Or you follow Edison's advice
and consider that success
is just one more attempt away.
Failure is like a shadow
or better say a ghost,
following you
and whispering on your ear:
you won't make it.
At this point you don't know
if you are just following your stubbornness
or just trying to contradict
and prove wrong that annoying voice...
