1 is a lonely number
2 means a loser
the principle for my journey.
the stars I wanted to reach
so I climb
higher
and higher
till the stairs had ended
but the tower continued
I want to reach the stars
I need to climb more
To make my own stairs, I needed
So I stabbed everyone beside me
The friends that gathered around me
those who shared the same dream as me
will be the foundation of my stairs
I shall sacrifice their dreams for mine
they shall be my stairs
as I step on their bodies to climb higher to the Top
gravity is pulling me harder
I get heavier
I need to sacrifice more
I need to throw away more
So without restrictions
I threw away more
and I continued
to climb
Till the last step before I reached the top
my knees begin to weaken
the air begin to lessen
I need to throw away more
so I threw away everything
and I was able to reach the top
yes, I've reached the Top
but I didn't reach the stars
the tower has ended
Yes,
I was closer to the stars than I've ever been
but I felt nothing
I realized
I've thrown I away everything
to get on top
I've even thrown my dream
In the end,
I didn't reach the stars
the ones I held dear are dead
I am getting weaker and I can't go back
Yes indeed,
1 is a lonely number

We all have goals in our life but let us not forget what truly matters, what we hold dear. Don't throw them away to get your dreams. Coz in the end, what is success if you can't truly be happy?
