Take a deep breath and enjoy!
Gliding past the poignant beauty,
Standing in the dust of success,
Cuddling the failure,
She melts under the rage of her anger.
Animosity fills her nostrils,
It frosts and frosts:
until it blinds her eyes,
and repels each soothing voice.
Gliding past the poignant beauty,
Standing in the dust of success,
Cuddling the failure,
She burns under the fire of her resentment.
Despair fills her head,
It spreads and spreads,
Until it replaces the air in her throat
and careens her into a dimension, unknown.
