Subject: Rise by self-improvement
In virtue and might
I strive with will
Thou not fret — with it instills
The passion I have
With fiery conundrums
To reach for the top — even so agonizing
My mind is in havoc at the wait
Till the dawn breaks as it would
Alas, the leaderboard is revealed
I am shunned — to see the product
I'm at the bottom
My peers at the top
Can they hear me?
Seems like it is not
For I dread in the embrace
Of impending pressure
Tread as I do
But every time — causes me an error
Study and passion
Hard work, I fashion
That I did do
But to what is the consequence?!
In which I realize
Competition is but an illusion
Improving is to challenge oneself —
Naught will it be envying others' greatness
And only be there as a mere witness
For journey will I, to see what is foretold
Though I may not reach the top,
Bottom is where my might beholds
Tread will I do
And action shall I seek
A journey to venture on,
To find the feeling of holding on
Scores will not hold me back
For to seek thy self,
That — I will track
