Fire flames
Afloat on water
My tears
Drift in the wind
Heart is heavy
Sinking to my stomach
Shrinking
Disappearing
A magic act
Of disappointment
Our mistakes
We can never face
While our pride
Blinds our eyes
And binds our hands
So that in
A thousand years
The earth will drown
In tears

Do not let yourself be put down by your pride, and your theoretical future embarrassment. Instead, embrace and try to change for the better.
