You are the stallion of the races, you draw a million gazes,
I am the black sheep in the night, I hide in plain sight.
You climb the ladder to fame,
I hover around the lower rungs,
Ma’s eyes try to veil the shame for me,
With the pride, she feels for you,
For, you decided to marry logic,
And I vowed to espouse art,
They’ve put a price tag on your dreams,
But can they put one on my ecstasy?
You have lived a rich man,
And I have lived a pauper,
And you will die richer,
But I will live for, eternity.
