How far we have fallen is only ever clear
In contrast to how high we were before
And how much higher we had meant to climb
Just like I know
No-one will ever really know
My failure and my shame
If they never really know
What it was
I was trying to attain
Objects, and the Distance Between Them 
So true. In fact we only have to fulfill our own expectations of ourselves. What do others know or care?

A valid question, certainly. There is much more to it than appears at first…

Thank you, Dawn. You are so very right there… We want others to understand, to know what we are trying to do and to see how far we have come, but only we will ever really know, and in the end, perhaps that is what matters most.
