Soldier’s Last Torment
When I was young,
I used to do everything to not be noticed.
I mean,
I would have make-up on,
eye drops and a conscious walking paranoia,
all the time.
Time has changed,
today I am what I am.
There’s nothing to hide.
Nothing to see.
My eyes burn, my hands’ shake.
When you write just about right
Things ain’t tough like that
They tell me I’m not relevant
Anymore!
I mean, that’s huge!
And that star never dies
In case she should one day
Have stopped for a check-up.
Try to be strong darling,
It’s Finished!
