Red Point

Severing ties allows a climber to fall
but will never hold him back
from where he wants to go
but will climb it alone
without slipping he will find safety
on the cliffs above he will look down
on those he no longer holds
alone.

Marvo! We see pelple run, we also run as if it is our virtue...we compete with our mates... we term the perishable acheivement gold medals! When someone is pacing fast to get to our state to walk together, we speed up..we don't want anyone to come around...alone alone all alone
we are always all alone
it is merely because of us
who compete and run
for nothing; there is no achievemnt
and all you'll be alone
alone, alone all alone.
