Don’t tell me it’s impossible
-
I would have told myself first.
Don’t tell me I’m crazy -
I would ignore you.
Don’t tell me I live -
My complacency died
when she twisted the knife on my folly,
when that madman called me caring,
when I learned his death.
I will prove them wrong:
Logic before hope,
Necessity not emotion,
Success instead of failure.
I shall not fail,
unless failure be fated
and reason cannot counter treachery.
This course is set
Nothing shall turn me from it.
I will tread it all the way
I will tread it all the way
and I will tread it all the way
I will tread it.
If ever I waver -
I will not waver.
My twin goals call me:
to see her face in the dust,
to show myself better than him.
I will be more ruthless than they.
This course is set
I will tread it all the way
Federation, fear that day.
