More Than I Can Be

Failure is not an option
I cannot succumb
To the weakness within
Weakness, there can be none

I must succeed no matter the cost
It is the measure of my worth
The measure to which I am bound
There can be no loss

I must be unbreakable, hard
I need to be cast in iron
So I may never fail
Forever on guard

The walls are raised
They will not fall
Until I reach that summit
Not until I come out of my daze

The daze of control
The daze of focus
I cannot fail friends, family, my heart
And I cannot fail my soul

I must rise to the challenge before me
I must succeed
I must not let down others
I must be more than I can be
