To succeed.

The drive to succeed
A distraction from the chaos
An illusion of greatness waiting ahead
The blurry road to rest
Running to the finish line
Unaware of the lights, love, and peace around.


The drive to succeed
Makes you forget the connections
Those around you cease to exist.
Winning the race,
Running through the dusty ways
Leaning towards fame
You forget the connections you're supposed to contain.
So that they remain.
With pure intentions
You forget that the dust will settle
As cliché as it may seem.
When all your dreams come true,
One look around, you'll see that it's only you.

The drive to succeed
You look away from who you are
You push down how you feel
And postpone the need to heal
You look at yourself thinking
Having money will be a great deal
Forgetting when the waves become shy
And the storm inside begins to rise
With all the best things the world has given,
You will still be alone, with your storm
Stuck in the walls of darkness,
With no way to go.

The drive to succeed
Find Love within.
Be cautious with your Peace.
Gain Enlightenment.
You will be happy and
Money? With no attachment
You will enjoy every part of it.
