&quot;Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It&#039;s a way of understanding it.&quot;<br /> ~~~<br /> &quot;You&#039;ve gotta dance like there&#039;s no one watching, love like you&#039;ll never be hurt, sing like there&#039;s no one listening, and live like it&#039;s heaven on earth.&quot;<br /> &ldquo;The most important words a man can say are, &quot;I will do better.&rdquo; <br /> ― Brandon Sanderson, Oathbringer


It’s a number funnel,
Good luck getting through.
We roll down the path
And are sucked by the trap.
Now the wall’s closing in
And barely anyone wins.
You’ve got what it takes
But you can’t beat the race.
So forget all that stuff
We’re not good enough.

 

But to be fair,
It’s not just you,
So crack a smile,
Somehow, we’ll all get through.
