I work so hard I fight so hard I want to be admired But find my best is altered It takes away my potential To be the person I should have been I work so hard. I push myself; It is not good enough you see I can’t be the person I want to be I need to rest, not use the up, the fight The well is empty despite it all Acceptance of trying so hard, for an average result Is the reason I cannot cope I can’t fight the beast anymore, I must rest Manage the beast, not fight it, is apparently the best Surrender to the beast? Ah what a release, but my dreams will be in pieces My career shattered It’s time to rest, and relinquish control. The balance to be found, deep within my soul Damn this perfectionism, and damn the beast I shall surrender, build my strength, and then come out and cut the beast Back again I’ll find myself. Redefine my life and its measure of success Success I hope will be found, not in my career or peers but within from where it should live.... |
