And so I found what I was looking for Finally content, but I wanted more So I gave all that was left of me. And I was so sure. But who am I kidding. The Gods did not say I could be happy. What a fool I was. What a fool I was to think that I, a mere mortal could finally be at ease. Then again I suppose that is what happens to those who want more. For I only ended up twice as miserable when I came crashing back down. -Persephone
