Sacrifice

The moon, it shines brightly,
But the stars, where are they hiding?
Is this the price one pays,
For eternal light of glory?

Success to the point of god complex,
May fill one with eternal pride,
Yet at what price of happiness,
The things that show us life?

For every gain there is a loss,
But at some point one must remember,
That success, though laudable and sought after,
Means nothing when no stars shine hereafter.
