Perfection
You strive for it
You reach toward it
You momentarily grasp it
But then you fall,
Stumble yet again
And as the familiar taste of gravel in your mouth
Mingles with the tears in your eyes
And blood from your wounds
You struggle to stand
Wondering how, yet again you failed
Failure
Failure to preform to the standard that has been set
By you, by others
There is no one person to blame
You want perfection; People will adore you
You need perfection: the sense of accomplishment is intoxicating
It's a drug
The thrill and chill of knowing
You did it
You've beat them all
You're the best
No one is above you
And like a possessed person you laugh
While tears of joy stream down your face
This crazy high you have will last you all your days
Or So You Think
But once again
You're stuck again
Crawling up that Golden Ladder
On your knees, just like a beggar
Writhing, Seething, Foaming, Cursing
In Agony and Pain
Because of the fact that Someone Else has a greater name
You'll kill yourself eventually, with your feverish fits from Hell
But in your heart you know you can't stop this drug;
It has become you will
Power
Fame
Honor
Glory
These words are like honey on your lips
Until one day on your throne you'll say
"Damn, all that work for this?"
