The Winner

I live for the starting line. It's there where you're exposed, and your true ability is revealed. You're looked over and sized up by everyone else on the line, each bringing their best. But I pay them no mind; I know what I've brought with me. I know they have nothing that compares to what I possess.

My fate lies on this line. Here, I lay down all my abilities and grandest ideas. All the dreams I've crafted over months, while lying in bed with my racing mind. Every idea, painstakingly reviewed in minute detail, ensured to work flawlessly. I bring them all and smile, knowing what's about to unfold.

I'm a pro. I've stood at this line many times before. Each time, I've grown stronger, bolder, becoming the best. I'm the one to beat, and they know it when they look at me. Take me to the starting line, so my victory can be claimed. I'm not here to compete, I'm here to win!
