You're going right

hello.
i really hope you don't become
depressed at this moment.
you shouldn't.
you have so much to live for
and you've always had.

doing everything that did not happen
automatically to you
so that someone else
has an easier path to his dreams
has been your dream all along.

it's good that you understand
the basic insecurity of people.
especially when precariously poised
at one edge of a hanging bridge
without option but to remain so
because they fear the lurking tiger ahead
and hungry alligators in the lake below.
you don't want to join them, do you?

believe me, your aims are too different from the rest.
as you move relentlessly
across such situations
facing victory
against the greatest obstacles
and failing at the last moment
when your end is at sight
you know there is neither victory nor loss
nothing is difficult
and nothing is important
and your thoughts become loftier.

you will return to the world
where you have time for everything
and do what you always liked to.
you'll be the thinker.
who, one day, will not need thought.
and you won't be sad in doing so.
and never shall you look back
and spill a tear.
now, you cannot.
