Nostalgia
Have lost so much of what had remained in me
I used to have beautiful thoughts and nice poems
Read deep books , wished to die
Wrote wrote and wrote just to stay alive
Now I think I am in love
Now I think I stay drunk
To accept who I am
Now I think what I am
I have l lost what I could
The genius is dead
My spirit is lost
Spiritus Mundi abandoned my ass
Looking at my account
Confirming I have enough
I can't even starve in peace
I can't even love for free
I have drowned in this world
I have accepted defeat
I have accepted to eat
This is the end
I have tried to be me
I have fought to be
But still I have ended up where I was told
Over educated
Over frustrated
Overcompensating
Waiting for 40 years
Just to stay dead
That chapter is closed
