Soul
Depression came like the first signs of guilt in their eyes. Underestimated. The fog took over the city. Depression became a promise. People stopped looking into each other's eyes. They passed by looking down all the while.
They all knew each other by their shoes. After someone had passed, a few of them cried following the trail of footprints left behind by the heavy, heavy sole of a boot.

Wonderful. Sometimes when I walk around, and people look you in the eys, I feel they could steal my soul, I wish they would lower their head, I wish I could like in this world you have created. top
