These people, whom I know as much as I know me, As I fill my days with their shiny lives and parades, But they're not mine,... Some picture-perfect lies... There lies mine,... trampled, abandoned, begging to be remembered, begging to be cared ... I don't know me, I don't know my story... And as I bask in their glory, The one grasping for help is me, As I follow them away... As I walk away from me, Only with what makes them h a p p y ... Because it was easy,... Too easy....

As I never cared for shiny objects. until I felt I lost mine, Illumination, What feels like in a sudden, There are so many from them, Those people, covered in gold and diamonds, shining away from their high pedestals, Stunning, ... captivating,... I sat there in silence, admiring from afar, and once in a while when they come down from their higher ground, I follow them around, -- I follow them around, ... My existence is a wish of theirs, wispy and feeble,... ... There is a beggar on the ground, begging for a second chance, trampled and forgotten, I don't know her, I don't know her story, As much as I know these sparkles, they can't be the same kind... Boring and uninteresting,... So I scold at her, ignored her, as mine and me alone gasp for my care,... Too easy... Because it was too easy...
