Obsession

6/15/2020
these driving thoughts fill my head
some keep me alive, some leave me for dead
i need them; i bleed them
if i'm not giving, i'm not living
so let me go, fulfill my dreams
they go far deeper than it seems
they aren't a causal passion or pet
they are what i need but haven't gotten... yet
i sharpen my craft; blade is whet
i'll still be here when the golden sun sets
this isn't something i want to have
        ...want to be
it's something my soul, desperately needs
i won't stop; can't stop, until i've found my way
even then you'll catch me marching night and day
i won't stop; can't stop, there is no end
even then my will won't bend
"better" is where i need to be
look for me and you won't see
an ounce of regret, hesitancy
i've already risen another degree
these driving thoughts won't pass or flee
if they did, i wouldn't be me
