run for a fall

• do not use the past as an alibi
  for all of your deficiencies always standing by
  face your negligence, do not fool yourself
  shortcomings will soon appear
  for weakness shows itself
  
  blind from your success and all of the excess
  deaf from the praise you had
  
  don’t cry out of self pity in forcing your way through
  for i will not be vulnerable to slander made by you
  
  in a misty veil, misplaced
  where castles in the air will be no longer seen
  as something out of reach
  in time the dream will be erased
  so many things will never be the way they seemed
  and pride will have it’s fall at last
  
  her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face
  when she realised that her failures
  could never be undone again
  
  you did not notice the manipulated hand
  that overshadowed your thoughts all those years
  that made you insecure
  you did not notice the ancient shifting sand
  that pulls you down into an everlasting sham
  you will never be able to fight
  never be able to hide
  run for a fall, you’d better run
