Sian Eleri Writes

Success is measured in time,

achieving before you reach a certain age.

Slow progress doesn’t count;

by then, it’ll be too late.

Highly driven, career path, go-getter:

buzzwords to get under your skin,

to make you doubt yourself,

to emphasise your failures.

I’ll get there when I’m ready,

but it won’t be what you’re expecting,

it won’t be satisfactory.

You’ll be disappointed.

It’ll be against all the odds.

I’ll fail more than I win,

and you won’t see it coming.
