Setback

from the ABC set Poetry

A few steps forward, setback from on track,
Nowhere to go not here or where.
A few moments more, setback from my ambitions,
Anywhere I go there is my lair.
Treading still, setback from my dreams,
Distilling the reasons how I am still scared.
These things, setbacks as a good omen,
Seeing that they are just posts on the road to success.
Setbacks are blessings in disguise,
They tell my tale from my lurid eyes.
