Trying to make the grade

Striving for your best

Beginning hopes seem slim as you

Break away from all the rest

No support from friends or peers

The battle rages on

Judging life by results

Won't show us where we've gone wrong

No failure -

You cannot afford the cost of wasting your time

No failure -

Who can decide if it’s really your best on the line?

Pressure to prevail

Logic put off guard

Can't reach a higher plane

When the past returns with all the scars

Guidelines plague our every move

Slowing progress down

Purpose lost with passing days

Will something change this time around?

Asking - answering

Looking - seeing

Should it really be so hard?

Seeking - finding

Directions clearer

Take chance out of the cards
