all stars burnout
so always be in a rush
to unravel and
to dissemble
what is worthy of

is never up to you
a life well planned: scattershot
ceilings always creep lower
ever closer
like withering fire
To Wither:
means: to shrivel, dry up, or lose freshness and vitality, often referring to people losing moisture, becoming feeble. It also describes the decline of the abstract; things like support, reputation
end.
