Is it really worth it?

When you wanted it so badly,
where the peril of life seemed convincing
From dawn to dusk, it would never let you go
Because you didn't want it to
Something inside you hinted
that sweat and blood is not enough
relinquishing your soul, eases the mind

Passion cannot be taught
It can only be experienced
when you know
what you are
what you believe in
Standing up for yourself
Battling this bad bad world
Where compassion has to meet its fate

No time to turn around
Not even to see what you've left behind
You know its there
you can taste its smell
feel its voice
breath its music

Alas! It has come
its so close
what you've dreamt of
your salvation
Your time has come.

You've crossed the finish line
won the race...but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all?
You've left behind more than you think
You've lost more than you
At the alter of you
I have sacrificed me

Its lonely at the top....
it really is....

Being so close, yet so far
Sharing that agony
Sharing
Sharing
I'd rather be close, yet so far
To share it

In this world of deceit and hunger
Can you see yourself in the mirror?
An eye for an eye......
If so, then you're second...
But trust me
You'll be a much happier man....
