Even


Even the lucky fall sometimes

Even the fortunate cry themselves to sleep

Even the kind tremble in rage

Sometimes the brave can't handle the heat

 

Even the hopeful can't see the end

Even the successful can't make it work

Even the leaders fall short

Sometimes even the whole will hurt

 

Even the visionaries lose sight

Even the truthful get lost in their lies

Even the strong fall apart

Even the lucky fall sometimes
