Success Over All

“Success is all I’ll need” I said A foolish thought indeed. “You’ll make it their, just keep your head And never lose the lead.” I strived I battled I fought And won. I never knew love From anyone. Nor joy Nor pride Nor compassion Nor glee. No one but myself, Whom I tried to please. “Success is all there is” I’d declare “Accumulate to win.” Now I’m alone, with wealth to spare Wishing to start again.
