I don't have te strength to want,
to discover places I can't reach.
To build goals upon the mountains
and try enough to beseech.
-
Desire pulls me down,
teaches me of my power.
Tells me of my potential,
and reminds me of my cower.
-
Stomp the hills to be flat,
Still the waves to be dead.
Clench the blossoms closed,
Send the stars to bed.
-
Shut my eyes to underground,
Relieve eternity of its task.
Shut the world out of its joy,
Kill my heart till it won't ask.

Very beautiful and sad
Wow such a beautiful way to describe the pain of desiring something and longing but also losing hope to achieve it.
