Fact: Striving for Something Requires Pain
this pain is never ending
 like an undying love
 like an undying hate
 it's unbending
 even when I shove
 it will not break
  
 I do my best
 try my hardest
 to no avail
 I should feel blessed
 but I feel scarred
 I must prevail
  
 we push and pull
 with no winner
 no loser
 it's a bunch of bull
 my patience is getting thinner
 but I will not be the accuser
  
 I have to be stronger
 I must I must
 I can't be defeated
 but I can't do this much longer
 I'm in disgust
 because I have retreated
  
 back to being safe in a prison
 with the bland
 and the boring
 a recognition has risen
 I know I must understand
 that my nerves may be roaring
  
 my gut may be screaming
 but I can't give in
 I won't withdraw
 the tears are streaming
 but I won't let you win
 this is the last straw
  
 with one final heave
 you tumble off the cliff
 and I am tossed into the frontier
 finally you leave
 and with a final sniff
 I shed not another tear
