Must I?

if one must stand, why not you
if one must be there, why not you
if one must take point, why not you
if one must recur, why not you.

but as where you fail, I must strive,
for
if one must stand, i will be tall
if one must be there, i will surround all
if one must take point, i will shine
if one must recur, i will never let down.

the drive for which i feel, you can never take away.
for what i see and do, is all for the greater good
do not taint my words, my feelings, or thoughs.
just hear me out.
