That One Guy

When time stands still, and your dreams lie ahead,
Grasping, steady steps, one last goal is all that's left
Like the hurdles that runners make over everyday,
Or the best player at every game,
Or the smartest one in class who makes straight A's
The extra mile, the avid gamer, the kid with perfect grades
Smug about talents of worldly approval
The best of men shine over time
Low and behold, as the truth is told,
The lowest social example will live an opulent life as you grow old

  10. The sad fact is that time never stands still.
    I do wonder how feasible it is to be a jack of all trades in this life. It seems increasingly important to specialise in order to come out on top.
