Expression
None has a grip on what this life will bring
who can be god or is the lesser one;
there’s this body, which has its suffering
and also fate, playing as if for fun,
just tormenting, testing what can be done…
But none the less, whose benefit is it,
a man hiding because of all his shit,
who’s desperate, exhausted from the strains,
talks to water and considers to split…
Please, let it show, express your bitter pains.
