Go ahead

Go ahead !

When I was a child,
My father told me this story

Long time ago
When this great general
Was about to conquer the land of Spain
He burnt his ships
And then he said to his soldiers:
Behind you is the sea,
Before you is the enemy
Go ahead!

I want to learn everything
As if I am going to die tomorrow
My days and my nights are too short
Nobody will contradict me
Succeeding must be obvious
But what is success?

But nowadays
I am like this general
I go ahead
Because life has obviously taught me:
The word “desperation” must be removed from the dictionary!
