Downfall

They say no one can stay at the top forever. However the obstacles they overcome will keep them from the bottom. What will keep us from either ever getting to the top or falling from the top and not being able to re-gain the greatness again? I believe it was very essential to all of our idols and the greats of the world. Their downfall came when they could no longer could bounce back from the obstacles they overcame to get to the top. Your downfall…will it come soon or do you still have some fight left in you?

My downfall will come soon,
And they say success comes only once every blue moon.
My downfall will come due to greed and envy,
The two things most prevalent in my community.
It will all end due to lack of faith,
What I believe in still won’t keep me safe.
My road ends because I quit,
I had enough and can’t take this shit.
It ends because I did not prepare,
I couldn’t take it not being fair.
My fall to the bottom will be due to my lack of motivation,
I wanted it but it was all this damn hesitation.
All of this goes down the drain because I believed in man,
I did not distinguish the rocks from the sand.
My fall from grace will be due to lack of confidence,
I played defense due to the lack of courage to play offense.
My run will be over because I couldn’t fight the pain,
As a result it drove me insane.
My downfall will come for me one day,
I just hope its not today.
