Talent

Talent rarely leads to fame

Though many play the waiting game,

Thinking if they just believe,

The things they want, they will achieve.

 

But luck’s a factor we can’t trust;

Expecting it turns dreams to dust.

It’s best to take defeat in stride

While never letting hope subside.

 

The irony, as you may guess,

Is that, for many, their success

Won’t bring the joy and peace of mind

That those with less success may find.
