Personal expectations

When have I tried enough
When have I pushed myself to my own limit
When is enough, actually enough?
Who are we here, trying to impress and when is the time up
There are several types of people in this life of which, I have crossed paths with
Those that aim for nothing
Those that are satisfied and wake each day smiling and happy
Those which spend their whole life pushing and improving themselves
Never getting tired, always learning, always pushing
Breaking bones
Pushing spines against their abilities
Scaring people they know
Not sleeping, never accepting defeat
Never doing enough
Pushing targets higher than they had ever been before
Promotions and applause
Appraisals always smiling
Through description, you can probably guess which one I am
Which role and person I have grown confortable with
Yes
I do feel now older, that maybe I should become more accepting of my own abilities
and actually praise myself
Holding out for that day
