Moving past the last plateau
Exceeding the expectations
Achieving more than those before
Changing the nature of the situation
I feel the weight upon me
Begging me to accomplish more
Overcome regardless of excuses
Obstacles only in the mind
How does one compete
With hundreds with the same goal?
And if I approach your aspirations
At what point do you extol?
What is it that you really want?
To have the best statistic?
Or to perpetuate the madness?
Realize its goal and why you seek it
I feel the weight upon me
Not driving me forward but dragging me to the ground
And if I reach my destination
Will I know what I have found?
I feel the weight upon me
Gripping me to the core
My quest for something intangible
My life should mean more
