Hi. My name's yinji. I'm a poet/writer who dreams to be a famous, published writer. I wrote this poem and I hope that you will enjoy.

I looked at the steps to ssuccess,

and I thought, Gee, that's one long and tall sstaircase.

The staircase hissed, unwelcoming.

But, I started climbing.

I passed the step industriousness,

I stepped hard on Strength.

I paused a little while I was at Poise,

and really stopped at initiative.

My mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and aunt

are all at the top.

Waiting, waiting for me.

That keeps me going.

I'm fighting myself and my feelings.

I'm fighting against them so I could be initiative.

Initiative is my kryptonite.

But, I'm still working on it.

I know that I need to be

as strong as an ant and as

smart as my mom to pass that step.

There are bumps and

splinters on that step.

If is cold, hard

and unwelcoming.

I'm still fighting.

I look ahead and see some traifs

I know I need to work on.

I see

team spirit,

Competitive greatness,

Self control,

and confidence.

I have a long way to go.

But, I know that one day,

I will reach the top.

And one day,

I will be successful.
