The road to the peak, a tough climb;
Constant hunger until the top,
Ignoring those who say to stop,
Avoiding those who deal like slime.
Consistency, the test of time;
When the belt’s wrapped around your waist,
Keep the cherry, not just a taste.
Challengers won’t let you stay still;
They’re always coming for the kill,
To stay ahead, do not make haste.
