Winning Smile
The triumphant man stands on the highest plinth
and lusters his name like golden pennies.
But little do they know that his success is only a piece
of a puzzle that he’s been working on for ages.
The time he spent was worthy to collect
achievements and possessions.
He thought he was loved;
He thought he had everything;
But the love that he knew was too random
that it quickly dwindled on stage.
Turned off his lights,
realized what he’s been missing
years after years.
