The End is the Beginning

I'm near the end...near the time where I fall down -
And yet I don't feel defeated.
It's an odd feeling where I know I should simply give up,
But for some reason can't do it.

It's at this time that I realize my greatest strength -
That I can do anything.
Not even God himself could stop me, I think.
But perhaps I'm egotistical.

I strive for perfection.
I rarely achieve it.
I never stop trying.
