Knocking down one tree
Just to have another rise in front of me
And I grin relishing the chance
Of a trial, locked in its dance
I feel something, something I've never felt before
I witness the opportunity to even the score
A hunger rises from deep within
A need to be fulfilled, another contest I have to win
So I go above and beyond, nothing holding me back
Driven by a force unchallenged, no effort to lack
Because I'm there to succeed, I'll use everything I have
Everything I am
Searching for everything I want to be
In others, more obstacles to be surpassed
And I'm speeding through, soaring from last
For I've tasted the bitterest failures, the vile bite
Risking for victory, not losing without a fight

Young people aren't allowed to fail at anything today. Every one gets a trophy. We forget that the bitterness of defeat is the stimulus to try harder to improve themselves. Great description of drive.
Thanks Augustus!
