Different strokes, wheels on shells
Like road paths to walk on
Ambitions and success
Meaning of what we narrow down aim for
Killing two birds with one stone
Or serving two masters
In metaphors
Abstract verses
With hidden meaning
In the end what is success in definition
Is it how others perceive us
How we portray our selves to others
Or how we feel
Deep down within ourselves
When no one is looking, on self reflection
What is the value of what we stand for
Is it worth enough to stick our heads
Up over the parapets and be seen as thus
Or be enslaved
By circumstance ambitions
Grounded granted excuse to follow
In the end is it the will
That determine where we stand
On being content with life
On questions and answers
Painted pictures with words, brush strokes
Asked and answered, you decide
