The Finish Line

Long off in the distance
Strung between two points
Waves the ribbon of success
Holding all you strive for

Toiling indoors to reach your goal
Making what will be yours
Making what others will admire
Making what others will envy
Creating who you are
The immaculate image only stained in your mind

Sculptures of intellect
Monuments to imagination
And reputations of eloquence

All the while being just a person
A person like the rest of us
Yet all the while
A person unlike the rest of us

You are someone unlike the rest
One who dreams of the amazing
And one who brings your dreams into the world
Sharing them with everyone

You stive to be different
And you work towards the waving ribbon
Working towards your goals
And when you do will you stop
Will you end your race after the finish line
Or will you continue to amaze the world
With the beauty of your mind
