Analysis of Restless Success



Interactions complex ways
honest days work honest day pays
at best we are complete
civilized games will power compete
the prize and pride
you must not hide
show off your selfish best
overcoming obstacles test
a marathon extreme endurance
lifelong quest of reassurance
now and then a reflection
temporary memory retrospection
the head leads and follows
interests intake energy swallows
ribbons and trophy's reminder
photos of past times in a binder
why and how to gain an edge
pushing yourself right to the ledge
everlasting sensation of absolute
determination resides resolute
