Brilliance and Luck

You had felt if you had just dreamed a little longer and felt a little stronger you'd have everything you wanted.

For this you worked tirelessly to think for how you could be what you see as greater and greater.

Though reaching a point of you own limitations you questioned for myself whether you could do more.

In this you realized perfection in mind and thought itself though seemingly attainable is impossible.

For every thought and hope we carry can never run forever and it either stops when we do or when we realize we can't reach any farther.

The breaking of the hope and psyche itself it only inspiring if we can catch it before it crashes.

Otherwise we wind away and watch ourselves brittle and crack as we go into depths unknown.

For genius is only greatness when it can run and half of any genius running is opportunity to run.

To take away a composer's instrument of composition would make them as ordinary or even maybe less than any other as they'd slowly lose their skills with their loss.

Watching their strengths and passions become none apathetic to nothing more than their loss.

As everything they ever worked for crumbles at their feet and they question why others can be so cold for them to be placed in an impossible position of unsolvable and necessary apathy.

When everything they ever loved most becomes as useless and pointless to all they chose to work towards.

To crack a seemingly, unconquerable mind indomitable in all pursuits of love and brilliance you crack their heart again and again until it bleeds unable to be recovered by sheer intellectualism turned to petty desperation and chance.

As one trades joy for pain to try to create joy from grabbing at crumbs of what they use to create brilliance that's where you take a great person and break them to pieces.

You know this because you lived this once and how you choose to never live it again is to never mistake brilliance for love though brilliant people grasp at it because it shows them how to love greater.

This is why nobody can understand how such a lofty dreamer can be seen as great just to disappear.

To question why they should at all one may ask and truly the only answer is they beforehand knew that sometimes being happy trumps being brilliant and the greatest know that you can't be most brilliant if you can't be happy, because even if others see you are a genius you yourself aren't clear enough to see the joy in their words.

This is why you feel you must show most brilliance at the greatest possible moments as those will also be the greatest opportunities to be given enough resources to run the longest.

This is why you feel as great as some people may be they can never be their personal greatest because nobody has a monopoly on every opportunity available.
