In search of that what is elusive,
In hope to fulfill the childhood dreams.
In the race to be ahead in every way,
I have lost what brought me this far.

It was not the greed I now have,
Or the jealousy that  erupts in my heart.
Neither the distaste for mistakes past,
Nor the desire to live up to a name.

But it was humility towards life,
To the dreams that I spun at night.
To the simplicity of the life I lived,
And the singularity of the task at hand.
