As I push through each day
I beat the odds of failure
The pressure of success
Is the the focus
Failure not an option
As each day passes
The skill and substance is revealed
What one is made of
Failure not an option
The pressure of success
Is the only thought
As I beat the odds against me
As I push through to success
The substance of what I'm made of
As I push through each day
To success
~Beth~
What do you see as substance to success?
