Some creatures seek higher power

I seek ascension myself
So as to become my own higher power

Some seek wealth
Material possessions

I seek strength
Sustain myself when I am without material possession

Others seek fame
Flattery

I seek claim
Claim over my body
The actions it makes

I love how different goals and values are compared to everyone else

Maybe someday I will find myself reevaluating my definition of success
But I doubt it

Change this world maybe
Not myself

And end up all the things I wish to be
I don't believe in god so it's hard to find something to put faith in. So I just believe in myself. That's enough for now.
