After burning always

After burning always

  never be consumed,
and after always crying, never harass me;
after so much walking, never getting tired,
   and after always living, never dying;

after so much evil, I do not regret;
after so much deceit, not to disappoint me;
after so many sorrows, not to cheer me up,
and after so much pain, never laugh;

in so many labyrinths, not getting lost,
Not having remembered so much forgotten,
   What happy end can you promise me?

Before dead I will be that chastened;
I no longer intend to defend myself,
but to be truly miserable.
Publicly shared.

Otto Cobanaro
