La Tristesse

by maria
 Even if you cannot live your life as you wanted to,
at least try this
as much as you can; do not humiliate it
into the affinity of the world
into the gestures and the conversations.
 
Do not humiliate it by bringing it,
by hanging around and exposing it,
to the daily stupity
of the realtions and the interactions,
til it becomes a strange and obtrusive one.

“As much as you can”, Constantine Cavafy

This music piece was composed by E.T., 16 years old
