Summoning courage



Now I shouldn't be a little afraid if I pluck up the courage and measure myself once. I stand on the two tongues of a scale; I wonder how much my crimes actually show? And was I the only one to make a mistake?! Among traitors and accomplices, who else could have stepped in the same place twice? In the wrong place, at the wrong time, he wandered like a crowd of toddlers. "I can already know for sure about the pain-wounds on my soul, which could have been wounded or even fatal."

I have been able to guess and know for a long time how much of it is true, and how much is just a copied appearance. As many times as two words cowardly remained silent: Loyalty and Honor - I would even tattoo them on my forehead; I'd rather remain a coward - but he's capable of it. Festive, holy bacchanalia and carnival had all gone over my head, so I remained a Sisyphus-man, who tried and tried to create and create amidst heavy burdens.

A hedgehog, who was forced to be active by the heartbeat of his eternal desire to be creative. "How many things have I left out on purpose!" – I should definitely find a cure from the daily barriers, even if I had to put up with so many incomprehensible snake-tongued words to no avail; should I hide or deliberately run away like animals?! I feel the accelerated atomic passing of my days past thirty.

Premature worries can still keep you awake, - maybe - but not for long. Why are they even now wondering who can win?! Neither a false bargain nor deceived fear can remain behind the conscious nudity! Everyone remains on their own anyway - but Life is better with a partner than alone. When the border becomes internal, we cross the threshold together; we can open the door and accept only with a crystal clear heart!
