My Own Demon of Destruction

When the challenge has become the quest The pressure is great to outshine The fear tries to crawl to the surface Again will I fall victim to my ambition The stacks so high In time I have months But I want it all now As it all sucks me in I can't help but to panic When all sleep goes away I lie awake in my rebuttals Can I become what I wish to be Or is this mask so great It hides all potential I have I look at this life as an constant reminder There is no place in this world for a quitter I can point blame I can ravish the truth But the moments still remain There's no time to waste As this life will fade I must remain true And figure a way past my last self To what this self wants to be now Away from all that is strange And conquer all that lie in wait My own demon of destruction.
