""King for a day, fool for a lifetime""

by FireFly - Libra

Offer me something-
Rich blood in an over brimmed cup-
Throw it into the distressed crowd-
Throw heated words, and sanctioned love-
Accepting the throws of a lost leader-
They could care no longer-

Stand strong, I’ve fallen so victim-
Strangled by a mission which was doomed to fail-
A ghost I became, captured by-
The glistening sword, trusted to impale-
The glory I had envisioned-

See, in my heart-
What mind made sense of emotion-
Evicted me many times in the street-
Loneliness, I fought to win-
Distress, SOS-
And I wanted you to dream-
A forever I wanted you to believe-

The lost leader-
Naïve are the impressions-
He knows the glory only came-
When he saw the agony of defeat-
Freeing the soul, mind, and heart-
Now and forever-
His intentions are never false-
Only true to the ground and his feet-
