You do not know
This force is deep and painful -
it weighs on you, its weight tingling in your spine,
increasing the weight of your own wetness.
But your bed is your coffin;
you sink deep,
your mistakes
in its reflections.
Your dream will be short,
like the smile of a pretty girl
which gives a little more hope
if you can go further.
And if you succeed
you don't care. Like a bad kid,
you run around, constantly destroying.
Your accelerated steps
You’d better slow down, now,
and look around:
What have you done?
