Those Who Climb, Those Who Fall
June 11, 2014
king of the hill,
play swords,
backyard battles,
king of the castle.
The only way i could win was to knock the rest off the top.
I never thought about the cuts and bruises I was carelessly leaving.
All I wanted to do was win,
until i finally made it to the top.
I realized it hurt like hell.
It was too late for me to give up the throne.
I was so focused on reaching the top I forgot:
the ones who fall from the top hit the ground hardest.
