Seeking Contest (Poetry)

No competition near is stimulating me adequately,
I search all around and nothing in sight challenges me,
A journey to the highest peaks, with ease. 
I voyage to the deepest valleys, nothing confronts me.

Who could possibly intimidate me? 
Left and right, I can feel some anxiety pressing me,
The only equal to exist is hunting me,
Finally, a worthy opportunity to excel and evolve.

This mirror reflection is taunting, with accuracy,
A match of shadow boxing will enhance me,
Such a genuine display would create envy,
This rivalry has purpose, chiselling away imperfections.

Remember to take time to breathe, note your defeats,
Then create a counter reaction, as the battle is constant,
Round after round, you must persist for riches,
The rewards will be worth your weight in gold.
