When My Own House Is In Order

What level of influence do I have,
If my debits outweigh my credits?
What rating am I given for illusion?

There is a difference between wanting success,
And being successful.
And desire plays a major role,
As to how that is motivated in my head!

And the 'T'...
When capitalized and placed in front of 'ruth'
Has such a believability that becomes rooted!

When periodic escapades,
Begin to establish themselves as tired routines...
The mind can tackle anything and accomplish it!
Just like the disappearance of insecurities,
One attempts to burden others with!

What level of influence do I have,
If my debits outweigh my credits?
What rating am I given for illusion?
None of that comes into play...
When my own house is in order.
And my backyard has been cleared of all debris!
