one’s happy ending is built upon
\nmany, many more sad ends<\/p>\n
for you, who now, stands on a pedestal
\ndidn’t you lose your sleep to get there?<\/p>\n
and the one who is revered by the crowds
\ndidn’t they lose their right to act human?<\/p>\n
you fell, you cried, got hurt, tried again
\ntears were the only warmth you received on cold, cold nights<\/p>\n
yet now you are here, above it, above all
\nbut didn’t you lose a part of yourself to be here at all?<\/p>\n
your days of happiness is built upon many more
\ndays of sadness, pain, loss, grief and despair<\/p>\n
But why linger on that past now that you are finally here…
\nhappy, content, serene… but are you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
