Goal
When the winners have long passed you bye
Why do you continue to strive?
To make it to an end
At which there is no material prize
When there is no one to witness the pain
Why struggle through miles and miles
Of body pounding strain
When there is no visible gain
When the goal is yours alone
What is it that drives you to attain it?
To suffer through a lonely endeavor
If there is no real award if you make it
I submit that it is life
The reason you do it
We live to obtain
Getting satisfaction when we achieve it.
