Your Friend in Asceticism

[Nietzche]

Marvel at what has become of you,
Immerse your self in the past
And live for what never was:
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
I encountered you in an unearthly realm of Jewells
Inhabited by shells,
You came to me warm blooded
And I froze you in hell.
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
But keep on pushing!
Aim for the stars!
If you fall short, you’ll still make it to the moon!
(A much more hostile environment)
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
Feel your body decay,
A new sacrament is born.
Gaze repeatedly into the eyes of defeat
But never flinch.
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
Tonight you will sleep alone,
And never question why
You chase the dream
That brings you shivers and tears at night.
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
Strive for the unattainable
And never yield.
Fight through the pain
Your rewards will be grand!
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
A happy ending will not be yours
For you have chosen your path
And I showed you where it lead
You know the destination
(why bother bandaging your feet?)
Signed: your friend in asceticism.
In this game your only victory
Is through defeat . . .
You have become my picturesque example
The embodiment of my ideal.
And I thank you
For giving
These most virile years
To:
- Your friend in asceticism -
