Quit - 5 Minute Freewrite Day 271

Quit

I often thought "I quit"

but, what do you want to do?

I don't think I'll change.

I don't want to have children

and it's far better this way,

the sun awaits me drunk

of my crooked dreams,

white dirty spot

on the glass of conformity.

Crying, banging fists,

child become old man

of malice and tricks.

I feel the night explode,

castles of matches

already lit and smoking,

the power of the dream is always in me.

Projects never finished,

diesel for engines

of mechanical butterflies

with wings of rags

sewn with screams

that I cry against the wind.

I feel lonely

even if I'm with you,

you can't do anything,

I like it this way.

Quit.

I quit everything,

I leave everything to you,

I press the button

and I'm down again.

It costs me to proceed

in a straight line,

I am diagonal,

I was born this way.

And the last thing I have to say,

even if you don't want to hear it,

is that I already know all the answers

that you will argue

I say already "you're right"

and we don't think about it anymore.
