The Rat Race Winner

Racing ahead; 

ahead of all others 

Reaching heights 

I am sure to surpass everyone 

I want to outpace you 

I want to destroy you 

I am out on a quest to win 

And I am determined to reach the top 

Life has taught me to lie 

To cheat and digest things I knew I didn't want to see 

I have learnt to sacrifice 

My family, my child, 

My love; is but a sacrificial symbol 

I am willing to give it all up 

Just to taste that fashionable goblet of success once 

I now know I can run wild with victory 

You are too soft for this battle 

You don't know how to let go of emotions 

What are they? 

A mere obstacle in your way 

I learnt to do away with them when I was young 

I am the winner of this race.
