Success?


Is it to love oneself, And to struggle, With life's journey? Is it appearances, To care of the thoughts of others, And to wear a smiling mask? Is it to sacrifice your own happiness, And to swallow your cries, With a soul dying inside? Is it to become the perfect human, With their steel gazes judging, Like an item waiting to be auctioned?
