Driven

Is seeing past all of the obstacles and

Only seeing the many goals

Is waking up an hour earlier to

Run 3-5 miles a day

Is working two jobs and still having

Time to go to the gym and write

Is brushing stress off your shoulder

Like this morning's dust

Is hearing all the naysayers and negativity

And thinking of how you will help them financially later

Is dedicating years of one's life to the

Accomplishment of a single task

Is remembering who, what and why we

Work so hard for and pushing onward

Is finding a way to make it all work when

It seems oh so impossible to so many

Is living within a world where

So many have given up

Is succeeding where others have failed

And got gloating, but helping others

Is giving ones time to help others win

When one doesn't have free time for oneself

Is finishing over 14 poems in a month

With a myriad of tasks and challenges to worry about
