Peas of a Pod

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.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
