Excelling

There is just no changing,
Regardless of what they say.
So why has it taken so long to describe things,
Up to and including this day?

And how far is too far within these bounds?
And don't tell me that you can break through,
To some realm where you are free of your thoughts,
And the social norms that define you.

And don't tell me you would want that, anyway,
Because you'd be freeing yourself of you, as well,
And what you really want is to put yourself,
Above all else within your social shell.

And that's alright,
What other heights could you strive for?
Though, maybe heights shouldn't be our ultimate goal,
But, instead, to understand each other more.
