O calcanhar

It happened twice already this year.

Now she´s done with playing Miss Nice.

"It makes no difference" - she says - "People will treat me the same, but if I quit it at least I´ll be able to take some advantage of the situation in the future".

You see? She doesn´t believe it anymore (or at least that´s what she says).

Shame on you who made her give up on being a better person!

Realize what you did, then?

Maybe she´ll soon forget it and go back to her usual behavior, but that´s not the point.

She´ll always remember it, even if she doesn´t want to.

"Good luck" - she whispers - "I really hope you´re happy now".

And no one can say she didn´t mean exactly what she said. She´s a good person still.

She´ll always be, in fact, but she surely won´t shine as much.

Won´t shine as much ´cause the same thing will happen over and over and over ´till she realizes it is not so pleasant anymore. Not like it used to be.

Then she´ll give it up again...

It´s her weakness, but she always hopes it will be different next time.

She thinks it´s worth the trial. And she´s right.

The only problem is there are not many people who think like her. There should be.

So... are you done with it?

Song of the moment:

"chrome buttons, buckles and leather surfaces
these and other lucky witnesses
now to calm me
This time wont you please
drive faster

roll the windows down
this cool night air is curious
let the whole world look in
who cares who sees anything

I'm your passenger
I'm your passenger"
