The Underachievers

The underachiever can not bind to the achiever,
Greatness is only reaching the highest level of potential,
Pushing oneself to the point of pain to get there,
Not all of man can handle that agony of greatness,
They rest in the lower scale of this equation.

It is sad when the only thing you reap from loving someone is pain.
