Determination

Don’t tell me I can do this

Because I know I can

I have to and I will

Because that is who I am

Even if it breaks me

Even if I die

I have no other choice

There’s no point in asking why

Doesn’t matter if I’m happy

You don’t even have to care

I will always be determined

To reach the podium I won’t share

Because determination means impatience

The art of not knowing complacence

Never feeling, only thinking

Open eyes, never blinking

Never eating, never sleeping

Too much talking without breathing

Too much writing without words

Cutting deeper, until it hurts

Until I can cry, until I feel pain

Because victory and success

Can never be the same

So tell me that I’ve done it

So I can stop trying

Tell me you’re proud

‘Cause I feel like dying

Tell me I’m not worthless

That I’ve reached the top

So I can go to sleep

Without having to wake up
