You got tamed, my dear Mark-
You've forgotten, or tried to forget-
The woman extended her hands towards his face.
He would have pulled his head back, had he the energy to.
Her slender fingers lay on his cheeks.
Crush them, Mark-
Crush the strong-
Beat them at their own game-
That's what gets your heart pumping-
That's what you want to do-
He remained silent for a moment.
"I can't... Not... Anymore..."
Don't listen to what they say-
You can't lose trust in yourself-
And more than anything, you can't lose yourself-
Don't lose sight of what it is that makes you, you-
Mark shook his head repeatedly.
Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make the 'illusion' in front of him disappear.
It's time to let go, Mark-
Anger started boiling up inside him.
