A wish that started so feeble
To do all things I was able
To cross the finish line of expectations
and keep on running.

But now after succeeding success
and excelling that again
I do the things I do
to protect the others

So they won't know the feeling
of having to be everywhere
at once
and not being able to.

To be expected by every superior
to be the best at everything
To step out and be the leader
because that's who you are supposed to be.

But to not only keep the others in the
blissful, peaceful, ignorant
dark.
I do it for myself.

Because there is nothing worse
than to disappoint.
