Denial In Style

My first major success was tough

With a lot of blood, sweat and tears,

Taking it all one long day at a time

And standing tough against my fears.

***

I was young, only in my early twenties

When I was injured in a car accident,

Doctors informed me I’d never work again

And pain would make me it’s servant.

***

I was determined to prove them wrong

They’re professionals but human too,

Nobody can predict the future

I was determined to do all I could do.

***

I always knew it would be a long journey

But none of this had been in my plans,

I was not changing my career goal posts

For my dreams I’ll make a stand.

***

In the end it was nine long hard years later

That I could admit to my huge progress,

As I walked into my first day on the job

Now that’s what I happily call success.
