Chained to Time
A Reflection on Friendships & Relationships
May 25, 2005
I'm lost...
I want to cry...
But can't.
They say I'd better not give in to feelings,
Since I was born a guy.
I feel so empty...
This life I can't abide...
I've tried.
No matter what I do, there is no use in hoping
The pain within will finally subside.
My heart is bleeding...
I am no longer free...
Enslaved.
I live from dawn till dusk and perish then —
The heavy fetters are all over me.
My soul has aged...
This long ordeal I failed...
The fool!
I tried to move the sky and earth around;
The train of life eventually derailed.
I give up...
There ought to be the sole winner....
Not I.
The battle we've pursued I'm quitting now,
For one of us already is a sinner.
Not I again?
Is "winner" all that different from "sinner"?
