You’re conscious of a lack of drive
And wonder what that means.
Perhaps you’ve lost the will to thrive,
As happened in your teens.
Or, else, you’ve come to see at last
Success is just a word
That’s buried in the distant past
Like some departed bird.
It’s not as if it matters, though –
That’s just the way it goes –
That is, providing that you know
The problems life can pose.
Your being stands behind that veil,
Regardless if you seem to fail.
