It was too late to fix what I didn\u2019t know was broken
\nWisdom is wasted on the aged
\nI realized I drained my youth for no cause,
\nas I probed every designs detail<\/p>\n
My hours withered away on castles and skyscrapers
\nOn perfecting my city, my world
\nI labored over their form and shape,
\nOblivious as to what would unfold<\/p>\n
Foolishly I believed my exploits would fulfill me
\nThe higher the tower, the happier I would be
\nTime taught me but another lesson,
\nThat the higher the tower, the harder the fall would be<\/p>\n
Amidst my soaring accomplishments, concealed,
\nLay the negative spaces that hide away,
\nThe little moments that you don\u2019t plan,
\nThe in between spaces held more treasure than the eye could convey<\/p>\n
As my mansions perished, so did I
\nAll that remained were crude alleyways and tasteless corridors
\nIn the end, my work meant nothing, and what I\u2019d overlooked remained
\nRegretfully, I realized, the things most important are often ignored<\/p>\n
