What is this passion that hungers for drive,
A burning, an aching, and monstrous revive?
Dwelling in me like a ravenous beast,
It yearns for sacrifice, it desires great feast.
It is my fire within, an inferno of heat,
That pushes my senses and wishes to eat.
All life challenges are but a worthless meal,
Consumed by a monster with no sense of feel.
It excites my ego by encircling my goals,
It grows to fire from the smallest of coals.
This fire inside could be something of a friend,
My motivation and determination, right to the end.

To help me find a road that's best,
Or just follow the flowing wind,
