Anyone who obtains success, <br />With claims they are surprised by it... <br />Have been taught to express humility. <br />As if for them, <br />A getting of attention is not as wanted... <br />As much as the getting of applause given. <br />And the greater the accomplishment, <br />The bright glow of shock shows upon their face. <br /> <br />'I don't understand it. <br />Why would someone claw their way to the top, <br />Only to wish their claws clipped. <br />With an attempt to hide, <br />An undeniable ambitiousness... <br />That has proven them to be, <br />Worthy of the standing ovation. <br />As if it was not expected.' <br /> <br />Maybe... <br />There is a remote chance, <br />They are not aware... <br />Of their own talents. <br /> <br />'Yeah right! <br />And maybe a duck that quacks, <br />Isn't aware that the sound of it can be heard.'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
