one’s happy ending is built upon
many, many more sad ends

for you, who now, stands on a pedestal
didn’t you lose your sleep to get there?

and the one who is revered by the crowds
didn’t they lose their right to act human?

you fell, you cried, got hurt, tried again
tears were the only warmth you received on cold, cold nights

yet now you are here, above it, above all
but didn’t you lose a part of yourself to be here at all?

your days of happiness is built upon many more
days of sadness, pain, loss, grief and despair

But why linger on that past now that you are finally here…
happy, content, serene… but are you?
