Mountain to the Valley
We often climb to the highest peak
The success often spirals to feeling bleak
See all the riches in the world but still be emotionally weak
Keys to the world but the heart is still locked
Seas of sadness make our joy become docked
Decrees for hope make our success feel mocked
Success can't make you satisfied with self
Confess money can only get you material but nothing else
Profess it's better to be poor than rich with nothing inwardly left.
Millions don't mean happy times
Billions don't mean there is sunshine
Chameleons can have bright skin but feel blue on the inside.
Thrones make you feel like you have it all.
Bones can be broken though when you fall.
