Mad Until Achieved

I'll achieve the impossible
and you'll say I'm mad
reveal the improbable 
as truthful fact 

Blinded by horizons 
dismissing my plight 
forget the sun rises
and with it comes sight

I'll travel the path 
you fear to attempt
you'll have a laugh
as hear of events 

and I'll carry on
as I see what you can't 
thoughts of "he's gone"
thinking at distance 

reputation will tarnish
avoidance you'll choose 
socially banished 
destroyed and will lose

And you'll all be right
common opinions breed
stood tall I'll fight
a constantly believe

I'll be the joke 
the mad man you poke
freedom to stoke 
make fun of this bloke

no benefit of the doubt
you're better than me
as I slug it out
bettering me

and I'll achieve something you never will 
when suddenly there's change to the way you feel
my madness now skill, an achieve most real 
you called me insane but you're run of the mill

I'll forever inspire
you will not 
my clever desire
you thought was lost plot 

It'll be what you didn't
and only I could 
you'll be just an isn't 
and I'll be the good
