Determination
I am a fighter, that I know to be true
Though docile I seem at first glance, I burn brighter
Than the fire that eats all the air in the room
Than the sun beating down its hot rays at noon
It began as a spark, but then it grew
With every fall and break and failure too
I've fallen a lot but, one day I flew
And I hope that I do not fall to soon
My name is not Icarus but I am still tempted
To dance with the waves and challenge the sun
One day I will fall, this I've accepted
But I've a long way to go and I've only begun
This raging desire, this need for success
Fueled by the drawbacks and tears of my past
My will is unshakeable, unbreakable, unmistakeable
But only because (and may this be my testimonial);
My determination is the one thing that is keeping me alive
And when it burns out, I will fall
one last time.
