Going through life without appreciating what you have.
Blinded By Success

You go through life
Looking toward the future,
Or dwelling on the past.
Not living in the moment,
When this moment could be your last.
You want to succeed more than ever,
Pushing people aside who won’t be here forever.
They love you now
For who you are,
But you don’t want to be held back
Feeling as if you’ve come so far.
You’re so busy shooting for the moon,
You forgot to appreciate the beauty in the stars.
