Forgotten
He was once but a peasant.
He once toiled from sun up to sun down.
His pockets were once shallow like a drying puddle.
But one day it all changed.
Now he sits atop the world.
His wealth seemingly infinite.
He has more women than any man could fathom.
But his former self lies in a realm of amnesia.
The memories of his struggle are clouded by luxury.
His former self buried in his riches.
Those he once loved no longer have a place in heart.
His true story long forgotten.
He once toiled from sun up to sun down.
His pockets were once shallow like a drying puddle.
But one day it all changed.
Now he sits atop the world.
His wealth seemingly infinite.
He has more women than any man could fathom.
But his former self lies in a realm of amnesia.
The memories of his struggle are clouded by luxury.
His former self buried in his riches.
Those he once loved no longer have a place in heart.
His true story long forgotten.
