Description
Grimly confident
that golden boy
He looks up for a fragmented moment to discover what?

Think about the burden of those to whom everything comes easy--others can't fathom your failure, your flaws and yet, they want you to fail so that they don't feel so imperfect, so deficient. You look for something greater than you, something that shows you you have a reason to be here on earth, that what you have accomplished so far isn't all you're here for. It's like they look at their puny number of years and think 'this is it?', because they see others older than themselves struggling when to them, it is easy. They are always searching for something more, becaue the satisfaction of accomplishment isn't nearly enought to satiate their desire: they have not suffered for it, and they haven't wanted it badly enough, and thus they look upwards for that unnamed something and at the same time stare into you, asking, pleading for you to understand.
