I am the dread, the dire demand
Echoing through the land
Whispered in every breath
A call to heed and understand
I am the hunger, the desperate need
A craving that cannot recede
Welling up from deep within
A constant, unrelenting feed
I am the fire, the burning desire
Consuming all with a relentless fire
A force that cannot be tamed
A passion that will never tire
I am the storm, the raging sea
A tempest that will not let me be
Tossing and turning, in its wake
A tumultuous force, wild and free
I am the darkness, the endless night
A void that devours all sight
Enveloping every inch and crevice
A never-ending, all-consuming fright
I am the whisper, the silent scream
A cry that shatters every dream
A haunting voice, that never fades
A relentless, unbreakable stream
I am the mountain, towering tall
A daunting challenge for one and all
A steep ascent, with no end in sight
A test of strength, a humbling fall
I am the burden, the heavy weight
A constant pressure that won't abate
A weight that wears down the soul
A never-ending, relentless fate
I am the compass, the guiding light
Leading the way through the darkest night
A beacon of hope, in a sea of doubt
A ray of sunshine, in a world of blight
I am the journey, the winding road
A path that cannot be foretold
With twists and turns, and ups and downs
A tale of triumphs, and sorrows untold
I am the story, the untold truth
A tale that only time can smooth
With highs and lows, and joys and pains
A never-ending, ever-evolving proof
I am the mirror, the reflection true
A glimpse of the beauty within you
But also the flaws, that make you real
A reminder of the strength you hold, through and through
I am the challenge, the test of will
Pushing you to your limits, until
You discover the strength within
A force that cannot be stilled
I am the question, the unanswered plea
A riddle that only you can see
A mystery waiting to be solved
A puzzle of life, waiting to be set free
I am the journey, the destination unknown
With paths untrodden, yet to be shown
But with each step, you carve your way
A legacy for all, to be forever known
I am the dire demand, the call to rise
To embrace life, with open eyes
To face the fear, and never back down
For I am the force, that truly never dies.
