What do I have to prove?

Ask myself this,

 and I still have only one answer.

Everything.

I say this with a smile.

It would be easy to settle,

 and let past accomplishments define me.

I prefer to keep trying,

 because I am not content.

So much more to find,

 and I say this with one thought in mind.

I don't have to prove a single thing.
