Better than.

What makes a person better? Or at least, want to be better?

Is it the thought that someone’s watching?
Is it the prospect of a reward?
Is it the fear of missing out on something?
Of dying early?
Of not being good enough?
Is it the wonder to impress.
To please?
The want to be ‘better than’
The desire to be wanted

What?

Is it the discontent over what he or she is now?
Is it the knowledge that it is possible?
