Challenge
"Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome." - Booker T. Washington
Write about overcoming obstacles in your own life. Any format. 500 word MAX.
Unrelenting Echo
The challenge I strive to overcome is the voice inside that sings a different song.
That says I am weak when try to be strong.
That counts the future as marked in stone.
That treats help as an unnecessary chaperone.
That seizes the time it takes to run as successive
That takes training a step far to obsessive
But I listen and rise above the echoes inside
Success only I define, I calm my pride
Against never ending doubts I survive
By accepting not avoiding that which makes me alive.
