Competition
Humans will never stop.
They decided that a long time ago.
Well, I'm a human,
therefore I will not stop either.
Call me stubborn. Okay.
I've been called that before.
I like to think of myself as persistent.
It sounds braver, stronger, more positive.
Persistent means I won't give up easily.
Being a human that initially will not stop,
that adds even more to my obduracy.
No walls, no weather, no nothing
can hinder me completely.
My humanness, my persistence,
my competition keeps me going.
I will not stop.
I will keep going.
And I will be more.
