			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was a challenge<br />
To describe what I could not possibly have known<br />
Profundity is a vice for the tattered soul<br />
I stand here unscathed</p>
<p>So I abandoned the endeavor<br />
And wandered alone<br />
Through desert<br />
Through rain<br />
Vetoed disdain, vetoed pain</p>
<p>Somewhere something would exalt<br />
Or justify my view<br />
My marvelous journey<br />
To unveil the profound</p>
<p>Yes! Indeed!<br />
I could find the truths of a life well lived<br />
I just have to find a hell to endure</p>
<p>But to stand on the podium<br />
Is to admire<br />
To win, is to achieve<br />
Or at least to aspire</p>
<p>Oh proximity she taunts me.</p>
<p>And what I seek is what would promote me to seeker<br />
So to what do I strive if I am not yet prepared</p>
<p>How do I tell the story when I stand still<br />
My mind rots with the hope I digest</p>
<p>And the simplest task overwhelms.</p>
<p>Is there greatness in me?<br />
There will be &#8230;<br />
And when that day comes<br />
All of us will see<br />
It is already here, or it will never be.</p>
