[hometext] => This one is for all those people who want to achieve, who want to win and who want to be the best.
[bodytext] => I am a normal girl, as many would suggest. But that's only on the surface they don't know the rest, the problem with me, as I define it, is I want to be the best. I strive, I toil, its been countless times I've tried, and though I get some results I'm never satisfied. They say winning isn't everything, and I don't disagree, for winning is the only thing, the key is victory. But the path ahead is not so easy, as in this world there are many like me. They too strive and toil and try even harder and make my goal seem even farther. These people are always pushing me back, they've got in abundance, all that I lack and as I'm confronted with them, I'm taken aback by the things they know, the things they say, they breed insecurity in me by night and day. I feel mediocre, I've lost my voice. They've left me with little choice. But is it their fault that I feel this way? I'd been blinded by vanity and self-conceit, the foolish thought that I was immune to defeat, and now I知 backing off, letting them move ahead, while I know I should be striking back instead. They're working hard while I waste my time, sitting here, writing this rhyme, as if this is the answer, the golden solution, I need to get up and make a resolution. And now I知 ready for whatever comes my way, let everyone do what they may. I'll overcome my weaknesses and my limitations, I'll fight all my blues and frustrations. This is not the end, its where I begin, there's no enemy on the outside, if there's none within. I'm not scared of losing, that's how I win. In the long run, I値l pass all the tests, And there'll come a day when I'll be the best.
