It was never beautiful

 
 
not even for a moment  
 
if you believe otherwise, you are living  
in sheltered nature under the illusion  
you are living.  
 
It arrives without permission, you will go on trips, you will have experiences, you will read poems, you will meet other creatures who walk this earth and realise how little you  
are living life at all.  
 
The nest is dangerous, if you do not learn to fly you will only meet death without knowing life's little pleasures, don't decorate your pain by stuffing it with flowers, don't hang  
from branches out of sheer existence  
 
many people live exactly like this  
without waking up to a new dawn,  
 
would you?
