Driven

Driven My inspiration lies, Deep within my soul. When it comes to surface, Therein I seek my goal. There’s no control I have, For when I come to see What it is I yearn for, Completely controls me. Determination sets in, Burning passion cannot hide. I cannot put out the flames, For I let my feelings guide. I’m told to lose my dreams, But whose place is it to say, That I can never make A name for me someday. They try to draw it from me, As they diminish all my hope. I say I’m unaffected, yet, My self esteem do they demote. Very few can understand, What drives and lies within. I could try to explain, But wouldn’t know where to begin. I do that which I love, And it loves me in return. The more I get to taste the sweet, The more for it I yearn. When I set my mind upon, The goal that stands before, There is no turning of my back, I spread my wings and soar.
