on certain days like these
i actually enjoy breathing
hearing the sound of the leaves moved by the wind
seeing the colours of the sky
blue with white strokes of clouds and pink streaks
watching the sun slowly falling to lighten up another part of earth
spotting the birds flying towards any destination they'd like to go

for some reason
on other days
all these details seem to annoy me
how the leaves are screaming
how the sky changes so quickly
how the sun's departure darkens us
how birds can fly away when they want to

and i am jealous
i envy leaves, for they move so carelessly back and forth
i envy the sky for changing his colours without changing its beauty
i envy the sun for always being the light in the human life
i envy the birds for their wings
if i had any wings
i'd have flown away by now

it hurts so badly
and i don’t know how to make it stop

do i simply cut myself open
hoping it will flow out of me?

do i simply smash my head
hoping the thoughts will cease?

do i simply sleep
hoping i will take a trip through the Lethe?

do i simply cry
hoping the pain will leave with the tears?

i’m burning up
and water won’t put out this fire raging within me

— The End —
