I am driven (for soulgoddess)

I am driven
before breakfast
I put on
my shoes
of many purposes
as the sun rises
before school...

My teachers say
I may receive
top marks
for the goals
I set and fulfill..

They say
life has a funny way
of testing you
to see what you really want
what you say you want..

Perhaps the road to success
is often
longer than you would like
shorter than you would imagine..

Sometimes going to school
and working
tests the spirit
it is better to be
spirit led
than to driven by guilt..

Sometimes you may feel like
Spiderman
Batman
Ironman
Superman
all the superheroes

Because you
are driven...

So much truth in this poem, I guess not to be driven, is not to have truly lived.
