The cost of striving for success while trapped in failure

And no chance to think because situations change so soon
Reflexes are quickened by each new experience you survive
Waking up everyday with the constant question of why?
No matter what happens, you still have to push on
Even if you fall to the ground with no cushion

Proven time and time again regardless of why or where
