The difference which lies therein.

All these ways I fade to gray,
And yet it is still unclear:
Who would have made us
Kings unto men?
They must not have known how we falter,
grown to obsession.
How far we fall
and
How much we fail.
Don't make our choices for us-
We shall fail at our own will.
Don't even try-
You cannot understand,
Nor begin to comprehend:
We are not like you.
I am not like them.
We start out the same,
and we all finish with the same flourish.
It is what happens betwixt those two moments
that makes us different.
Tears the line between the strong
and the weak.
Everything is about reaction:
It's all about what you do with it.
What you do with what happens
is what matters.
Open up Pandora's box,
go on,
now you've been dared.
What is going to happen, now?
Are you going to be the same,
or will you set yourself apart?
Set yourself on fire?

There is still time to choose
what is it that you will do.
But be warned,
the world is waiting
and the world is quite impatient.
