The Attempt To Put Aside Pity

This improvisation seems weird, it's a continuous frustration controlling your fickle decision; every supplication goes unheard. The attempt to put aside pity clearly reveals the cruel side you won't suppress with humility, be human and show some dignity; are you willing to lose everything for a foolish feeling of pride? are you so cold not to feel anything? It's easier, to be honest than hiding all the emotions under a mask; who can see the imperfections, who can guess how insincere one is... if the trust in oneself is not easy to predict? The attempt to put aside pity denies the stark reality of the crushed dreams that have stopped to delighted us, can we save them before they become another memory? All we have to do is recreate that magic so loved by us! If this quick hug, seeking sympathy, only lasted longer than a glance it would erase all guilt, but a silent outcry is never heard aloud vanishing with all the hope entrusted to it!
