Not the Victim

Living a life of question.  The games and battles.
Leading a life for gain to the outsider; yet a soul crying out for purpose.
You watch me climb, conquer and the gaze can't grasp the underlying power that lies for the taking.  
A heart within that sacrifices everything for the truth.
For the gains of the world will never discredit the power of that.
I step down for a greater purpose, it's breaking within.
A deliverance of ones self that is more pure than the breath that lies within.
