2. "When you are not fed love on a silver spoon, you learn to lick it off knives." Lauren Eden shadows lurk from the painful past tempting to look back there were struggles which only made stronger and stronger no sustenance on silver platter to relish from lacked shiny lustre on day-to-day wearables but mysteriously the lacking added strength to feelings of warrior no defeat without striving for the top no giving up without achieving goal shadows reminded adversaries lost in battle no regret for a journey with ups and downs ultimate win wiped out tumultuous odyssey
