I had set out for a journey of pride

Quest for excellence was cause of my stride

Promised myself a real goal to realize

Not for false glory, but to self-actualize

To be one with my soul, not a race to run

Did I ever repressed others to be number one

Its about universal evolution, not to defeat anyone

Honesty, compassion, advancing in unison

Was it ever a game of trade-offs

To muddle up around and create chaos

To win some and lose some in the toss

It was to attain and succeed amass

Why to step over others to attain your high

Why is it so important to fly above the sky

Why someone’s sorrow is someone else’s joy

Those who don’t know my aim, so don’t even try

Don’t ask me to detour or take a short course

I have my own challenges and hurdles to traverse

There’re plenty to underwrite and enough to enforce

Don’t obscure my vision, don’t eclipse my source
