it's a world of plastered on smiles, and lies, and drugs and dollar bills. where franklin holds far more power than george ever did.

its all about strategy, and weaknesses, and work, lots of work.

its about competition, where the losers cry and blame their loss on the rest of the world, never themselves, and the winners walk around grinning, till they again fall. because in this world no one is on top for long.

it is a world of spoiled children, and material love. it is a world where love is often misinterpreted with money, and hearts are broken almost as fast as the bank. it brings debt like a plague, and sorrow follows quickly behind.

it is a world full of liars, and cheaters and drunks and abusers and pigs. it makes you as cynical as scrooge, sour as a lemon, and bitter as sulfur.

it is a world of early mornings and late late nights, stress and little sleep.

but most of all it is a love that has been burning so deep and so long, that it has almost burnt her out. because it's not all bad, not all of it, not at all.

but... the plastered on smiles are making her face ache, the lies hurt a million times more than the truth, and it just doesnt seem worth it anymore...

and that in itself breaks her heart.
