The Best

I try to be many things

And end up nothing.  

Yet here I am

Still Trying. 

Until it hurts

Now I’m crying

Because I’m weak

Everything I want to be

Everything I seek 

I’ll never be.  

The best,

Adventurous,

Respected,

Worthy,

I could be yours

And honored

Do you know how much I give

To be denied all

But I won’t run

From all this

And now it burns

This fever I feel

Because I want 

Everything I’ve been denied 

Everything I crave 

I’ll never get 

The best,

Adventurous,

Respected,

Worthy,

I could be yours

And honored

I won’t settle

If that’s my option

I’ll be alone. 

Everything I’ve dreamed of gone

Everything I could 

Be just a dream. 

The best,

Adventurous,

Respected,

Worthy,

I could be yours

And honored
