Luxury

I have one singular goal

Eight letters in an envelope

Accepted

My life is now intercepted with the uncertainty of the unknown

Sacrifice and doing it alone is just part of the deal

As I’m the one that is going to have to steer

My life’s formation now accommodate this task

Something I regret stumbling upon

Asking myself the best way to carry on

I don’t have the luxury of being good

Or being like the rest

Sleeping in or choosing not to do something will make me second best

I envy those who are fine with being ordinary

Okay of being just like the rest

But I don’t have that luxury, I need to be even better than the extraordinary
