Elaborate Plans

To do something meaningful in life, you are required

To plan ahead, be strategic, have already acquired

All the tools needed to execute what you have planned in detail

If you go about it haphazardly, your efforts would be of no avail

This is what for the longest time I thought

I made plans so detailed that they did not

Have any place in my actual life, I never did feel prepared

To put those plans into action, I was scared

That things would not fall into place

Actually working on the plans was too daunting to face

*

Elaborate plans that never materialize

Are not worth spending time on, I have realized

I just plan the next step ahead of me

Not unexpectedly, more immediate results I see
