My Mother Said

My knees are wounded
I can't run
I can't flow through the closed ways
Of your forgetful river
I can't find my way
Wthout asking
I can't rise over the snowy mountains
Of your hidden city
 
"Don't get too sad, don't be too quiet,
Don't get too offended, don't cry too much,
And don't read too many books,"
Said my mother.
 
"Don't sweat too much, don't get too tired,
Don't drown in your whirlpools
And dont't get to used to your loneliness."
 
I can't see
Without my sun.
I can't sleep
During a lunar eclipse
Even if it's dark.
I can't love everyone
But without loving,
I can't live,
Even if that's wrong.
