Stay Hungry

Relish the scratches on your back.
Claw, climb, come up! 
Pay no attention to those behind you,
They care only for the trail you blaze.
Without thought of what they can't see, 
beyond looking at your back?
You're a fantasy.
They see your profile. A snapshot.
Demand an ego. Define perfection. 
Write an anthem. Be an icon.
Become the face of unity.
Stay hungry for truth!
Drown your message in raw emotion, 
That's the voice of this revolution.
