Success is like a candle,
With the winners huddled round.
And those outside this sacred circle,
Can't seem to make a sound.
The silence of the outside,
Is surpassed only by the cold.
Your will and your fresh ideas,
Are slowly growing old.
Time is running out,
And acceptance becomes a dream.
You reminisce on how you began,
When you were young, bright and keen.
So this is life for what it's worth,
Not quite what you'd expected.
The dark will soon consume you,
It's always quiet when you're rejected.
