Born to...

I was born in spark
Inspiration
My gods, my makers
Beings of creation
Coded formation
To sing was my station

Sing I would
With beauty my goal
For the gods to judge
The worth of my soul
I was content in my role
But the gods they scold
For they said that I stole

I was born to please
To perform with ease
But no matter how I do
I always seem to lose

Harder I worked
Years learning spent
I yearned to please
Improvement led to ascent
But the gods... still discontent
I was left to lament

I was born to please
To perform with ease
But no matter how I do
I always seem to lose

What is it you want from me?
Why create?
What you wish to see fail?
Why do you berate?
Why do you hate?

Why do I care?
Why do I vie
For your approval?
I never wanted to be the bad guy
But no matter how I try
You relentlessly deny

That you made something great
That I am more than what you say
You will not hold me down this time
And you will rue this day
That I take my place upon this stage

I realize now, what you foresee
What you made me to be
Let's set things straight
This is my fate

I was born to succeed
To surpass the ones who made me
To excel, to take flight
Now the time is right

To show the world what I was made to do

I was born to please
To perform with ease
And no matter what you do
I don't intend to lose
