The Ultimate Prize

Whether we know it or not, we all go through this life with one common goal: to find happiness.

Don't you wish you could control your head

Like every single action or word left unsaid

If I had a power to seem what I'm not

I would train myself to look happy and strong

A mountain standing tall and alone

Powerful. Nothing could knock me down

Except for reality, just look around

I thought I had found my sun in the unsettling dark

Without unlimited control of the mind and the heart

Time wears down the weary traveler 

Your life becomes "I can't" and "I'm not good enough"

The screaming inside becomes unbearable

Don't you wish you could control your mind?

Learn to shake off your bitter taste and be more kind

Erase it from your heart

Just remember to forget

That every single heartache

Will one day lead to the path you will take

The path that leads to what you search for

The ultimate prize for which you yearn

A feeling of true fulfillment,

A reason to be happy,

A reason to feel fine.
