I know failures,
they hurt,
but never failed to return.

I know challenges,
they receded
but the pain lingered on.

I know despair,
it held on,
as hope trickled away between my fingers.

Now I want to know
what success feels like
again and again.

I want to see
how everything turns to gold
on my touch.

I want to win
against all odds,
witness luck bow down to me.
