I want it all.
*
Behold:
*
What do you desire?
Fame?
Fortune?
Family?
Your goals are too small
Your desires, lacking
Your hopes, inconsequential
Me?
I want it all.
Nothing less
I want to stand at the peak of humanity
The summit of creation
The apex of the heavens
Why?
Because I am greedy
I hunger for more
I thirst for more
I crave for more
More than what I have
More than what I’ll ever need
It’s not enough to be good
Or even great
I have to be the best
Better than anyone ever was
Or will be
Mediocre
No thanks
Forgettable
Forget it
I will climb to the top
Step by step
I will strive evermore
Step by step
I will go the distance
Step by step
For I am greed itself
And what I claim
Will never be enough…

Thank you for listening.
