My Own Demon of Destruction

When the challenge has become the quest
The pressure is great to outshine
The fear tries to crawl to the surface
Again will I fall victim to my ambition 
The stacks so high
In time I have months
But I want it all now
As it all sucks me in
I can't help but to panic 
When all sleep goes away
I lie awake in my rebuttals 
Can I become what I wish to be
Or is this mask so great
It hides all potential I have
I look at this life as an constant reminder
There is no place in this world for a quitter
I can point blame
I can ravish the truth
But the moments still remain
There's no time to waste
As this life will fade
I must remain true
And figure a way past my last self
To what this self wants to be now
Away from all that is strange
And conquer all that lie in wait
My own demon of destruction.
