Break a leg
Break an arm
Sacrifice for others is admirable
But sacrifice for personal gain is greediness

Tomorrow, most of us will wake up
Some will drift into the endless chasm of hell
Some will float towards the pearlescent gates of heaven
But all of us will continue to move

But how much would you sacrifice for that reality?
It's easy to call another man selfish for chasing his own dreams
And leaving the rest in his wake
But if another helped you up, would you risk your life for others too?

Or would you keep the life someone sacrificed for you to have.
