Fools Last Acclaim

The obsession is real
It pushes me onward
A haunting force
Leads me along this now fatal course

It's their reactions that instigate
My consequential ill ended fate
None shall surpass
These mountainous tasks

Higher heights and even deeper chasms
I will become the subject of their anthems
It's my unshakable resilience
That drives me closer to irradiating brilliance

I cherish the darkness
I yearn for its touch
These life taking chances
Exhilarate me so much
I will become the one
That you'll all adore

A simple misstep to the right
Upon the damp eroded soil
I succumb and slipped
Unveiling my mortal coil

As I floated beyond
Towards my untimely end
I grew quite fond
Of the message that this would send

The quick flash of light
As I glided in flight
Some would feel fright
But not me I basked in delight

The iconic leap that I chose
Has immortalized me at last
For I must disclose
That I yearned for you all to cower
Jealously in the shadow that I cast
