My Dear Son:
Where are you?
You're lost, done, finished?
What have you done?
Fought, loss, gave up?
What have you learned?
Courage, sympathy, nothing?
Why give up?
Thinking about later rewards? New Life? Lies?
Your muscles are weak
You are lost in this heavy dark mist
When was the last time you've opened your eyes?
Why do you hide in your cave?
What are you afraid of?
The Sun? Moon? Life?
The search engine it's alive and burning
Why the despair?
Of falling? Scratches? Scars?
The answers are simple, no catch
Just slip and slide, as a child frolicking in a warm summer afternoon
I am ready to hold you, to see you, to let you love and live - Be Yourself!
Strength doesn't come in numbers
Superman is dead, we are our own heroes
No capes, no super powers
Only human beings
With scars, bruises, tears and fears...
Sharing our lives together, only in paper
We don't fight the same battles
You don't let me get involved with you
Push me away as far as you can
For what?
To protect me? For love? Or rather selfishness?
Hold my hand, trust me!
We can walk together through the darkness
Use me, abuse me, talk to me, just let me IN!
I need you, I want you! I don't want to lose you!
I'll hold you till the end of times
My dear Son...
