3 years

I'm not going to listen to your voice right now
I'm too weak to remember
I still can't understand why and how
You chose this path with no way back

Underneath this skin and smile
Dark roads and dust in the corner
Fear comes as to a little bird from a crocodile
Unavailable, unacessed, unable to catch any order

Another sun's rising here
Another day is up to me
What do I do? I don't know where to go, how to start again, when to feel ready
Honestly I lost all my convictions to this will of bringing you back

Why do you had to live such a sad time? 

Broken heart and fucked mind weren't enough for life?

You're not the one to blame, my dear
I can love you even more over the years.

How can I accept you're gone?
You're the only voice I wanna hear on my phone
Maybe I'm late to say
I just wanted you to stay
And now that you're far far away
I can only miss you more every day.

River took you away
Flow carried you over for the day
When the night came
Black sky and thunderstorm showed us what they've made

Pure heart, full of grace

You were free
Then you were just free
From all pain, suffer, angst and anger
You were just free

I've been looking for the reason
Why'd you leave it all behind?
Why'd they make such comparison?
You knew what was real but I guess they were too blind

To see
To face it
To understand it

But you knew

You're free
You're just free now
No one can ever come closer to what you've become
'Cause you're just free

Tell me how it is
Tell me what you can do
Tell if it's real
So real

It's been a long time
It feels like forever
I'm not ready to say
My last goodbye

Can you feel?
The shape of the water through your skin
Can you hear?
The sound of the wind calling your name

Don't miss it
Just miss me
Just the way I miss you

You're free
Just free...

Bar Meetings

I got myself stuck inside this moment for a while, it's weird the way things just mean to be, it's even weirder to realise how it just happened. 
The way you were staring at me was so unfair, so outrageous, so disrespectful but so intimate like we've known each other for ages. You made me feel so uncomfortable, frustrated, violated, challenged and you didn't even need to say a word to cause such mess inside me. I confess, I wanted more.

How can I forget that? 

How can I simply ignore the fact I don't know when we'll meet again so I could confront you and take these answers from you? How can I just move on like nothing happened?
 

This mind game you played is turning to an obsession. When I close my eyes I can see you there again and again, I can touch you for once, I can feel your soft skin of your thinny body, I can breathe the same smoke-covered air as you. 

I feel constant agony from the mystery you've just put me in. No matter how empty your head was at that night, I will conspirate till we get face to face one more time. I feel sick whenever I get to remember I spent only a couple of hours by your side and you made me lose my appetite because I was busy growing a hunger of getting you out of yourself. 

I was busy wearing a suitable disguise so I wouldn't need to speak anything to you. I was busy trying hard not to be judged so I could get back home feeling good for a bit - but I judged myself the second I got there cause I let you fade away without even say a proper goodbye. 

Can a place hit someone so hard like this? It was just you in front of a dirty wall, half light above, annoying voices around sounding louder and louder every time and the empty bottles on the table. 

I could paint it just like the artists were doing right by our side.
But I'm no Da Vinci, nor Van Gogh. I'm just one confused, embarrassed, complex and quiet girl from the thousands and thousands I suppose you know from life. 


I'm just a bad writer with no sense of drama or humour trying to understand what just happened at that night. I'm just an anxious diver trying to get inside your mind as I take you out of mine. 
I take all possibilities before conclusions, I create all expectations before experiences, I write every feeling down before I actually get to feel them.

Are you ready to have this "not-so-deep" talk about the bad mixed drink of feelings I just ordered or should we wait till the hangover to end?

Someday

It wasn't a dream
It wasn't a training
It was real
It was you and me
Looking to the infinity into your eyes
Touching the vastness onto your body
The way we were waiting for
For so long

I tried to resist
But I knew what's up to come
I knew you were going to convince me
I new what I was about to feel

The pleasure
The intimacy
The confidence
The passion
The moment

The moment I feel free
Nothing could let me down
No one could change my mind
Nobody could bother me
The moment I wasn't expecting
The moment my mind thought about only one thing

I never want to leave this bed
Never want to stop feeling this
Never want to let you go
Never want to say goodbye again

Hello

I don't know how to start this.
I don't know the words to fit in.
I'm just speechless. 

Not scared, or surprised.

What are the odds of finding comfort in a pair of eyes?
What are the chances of being free from bad nights and people pointing the finger?
What are the odds of finally meet your angel ?

I kinda overreacted.
But it doesn't take the glow in my eyes. Or yours.
I saw exactly the same thing you did.
Can't you see? Better, can't you STOP seeing?
Of course you did recognized.

You didn't put in a box.
You literally wasn't discreet, didn't try a disguise.
Almost shouted to the other side.
And I know you wanted it.
I know you could've done any other thing than just observed.

You were there.
I was right in front of you.
You got it right.
No raw movements.
No regrets.

Just the look to each other.
Just the thoughts flying to the greatest date.
At the very morning.
At that random date, hour, place and situation.

You were there.
It's not my will to find you anymore.
It's not my mind trying to replace you anymore.
It's not my illusion in every face I look at.

It was you, and all you details, and all the things that, wordless,
made me trust in you somehow.

I don't even know your name.
I don't care.
But I know you are my saviour.
It counts to me.
This is all that matters.

Black and White Dreams

You laid your head on my shoulder
You were so right, you were so sure
You were mine, you wanted to.

So I kept you close, looking into your eyes
Shining so bright in our black and white world
Our song is on the radio, in our ears
Playing at the same time, for you and me
I promised you'd be safe.

While I was handing my everything to you
Like a movie, we're the stars
You held me softly, you knew where you wanted to go
Inside my mind, into my soul, in the deepest place of my heart.

You knew I needed you, your presence, your existence, your resistence-
Your smile, your touch, your lies to make me feel better
You knew I needed to feel I was made to be in your arms
I found out right when we first kissed.

Never thought about destiny
But this time it was real
It called me to you, put me where I belong
There were no chance to be wrong
You're the chosen one of so many others - among.

I was waiting for you to take my hand
We could run away from this land
Just sail across the ocean going nowhere
We could run the world together
Paint it in our own colours
Just you and me, the way it had to be.

April/19

I'm sure, that was you.
Your features, your eyes, your [greenish] brown eyes,
That large smile I love so bad
That angelical voice I'd be rude to forget

You were there, you wanted to be.
And while I played with your hair
You were trying to remember that song we listened to years ago

Years? Wow
We were really close to each other, and for a long time
Who could imagine?

*Oh please don't wake up, girl
You're right where you wanted to be*

We were in silence
Staring one to another
Just wondering if that was right
If that was happening for real
If I could get to know you so easy like that

If someday I could get even closer to you
If you'd be there if I needed a friend
If we could find peace in each other's heart and soul...




I had a dream and you were there
At that train station with me.
That was a typical english subway
And there was this 1920's old fashioned library.
We decided to sit there and chill, then I laid down on you.
I still get a little embarrassed about it
This kind of intimacy we have
But I get the best view to look you in the eyes
Watch you smile like one can, you got me hypnotized.

Autor Desconhecido

Sabe aquela vontade de procurar saber tudo sobre todas as coisas? (Sim, como o "Cid, O Cientista")
Eu nunca tive.
"Por que?"

Eu fui criada pra conhecer *nada*. Eu fui criada pra observar e aceitar. Fui criada pra ser a melhor versão de mim, mesmo que eu não soubesse nada de nada. Por "melhor versão", eu quero dizer "melhor que os outros".
É claro que eu nunca entendi ou concordei com isso. Eu queria buscar saber mais coisas, ser legal com as pessoas, falar sobre qualquer coisa, mas o bloqueio da minha bolha era maior do que a minha ferramenta pra sair e buscar -seja lá o que for-.

Eu passei tanto tempo ouvindo que eu devia ser melhor que os outros que hoje eu me considero uma pessoa egoísta. Eu me rebelei por um tempo, fazia só o que eu "queria", mas mesmo assim, a única coisa que eu aprendi foi que eu precisava de uma fonte de informações, e que os livros de auto ajuda que tinham em casa não seriam úteis.
Foi tanta pressão, tanto peso colocado nas costas que além do problema físico, hoje eu encaro dificuldade de manter pessoas por perto, de iniciar e terminar conversas, porque eu tenho MEDO de me relacionar com pessoas desconhecidas.

"Medo? Que medo, menina? Nós somos legais!"
É o que eu digo pra mim mesma todo dia. Eu não preciso ter medo de nada nem de ninguém (com algumas exceções). Mas eu tenho. Medo.

Medo de encarar coisas sozinha.
Medo de pessoas novas.
Medo de lugares novos.
Medo de desafios, qualquer coisa que teste o tempo em relação à minha produtividade.
Medo de qualquer tipo de mudança.

Medo de errar.
Medo de ser avaliada.
Medo de ficar entre os piores.
Medo de pensar diferente, fora da caixa.
Medo de mostrar minhas ideias.

Medo de ser eu mesma.

Depois de anos, eu venho percebendo que eu nunca me encaixei em lugar nenhum, eu nunca entendi qual era a minha vocação, eu não entendo até hoje o que preciso fazer pra mudar tudo isso.
Eu continuo com todos esses medos. E cada dia que passa, eles aparecem mais. Não maiores, só mais frequentemente. E são muitos (aqueles ali em cima) pra uma pessoa só, então acumula tudo de uma vez, é desesperador.

Eu criei um monstro dentro de mim. E fora também. A ansiedade que mora no canto direito do meu cérebro fica alerta, esperando uma novidade pra evitar.
Sair de casa? Não.
Andar sozinha em lugares que nunca fui antes? Nem pensar.
Falar com os outros? Cobrar algo de alguém? NUNCA (eu espero o tempo que for, mas não tomo iniciativa.)

Apresentar um trabalho sempre foi um problema: tremedeira, suor frio, milhares de visões sobre a avaliação do professor, "e se os outros não entenderem?", aquele branco no pensamento que me obriga a sempre ter uma cola perto pra lembrar do que eu preciso falar.

Aquela bolha em que eu vivo é muito resistente. Eu tento estourar mas as camadas parecem não acabar. "É uma bolha mesmo?"
Eu ainda tenho medo, e por causa desse medo, eu perdi muita coisa (boa e ruim, sim, a gente aprende com erros também) e se eu pudesse voltar e falar o que eu vejo hoje, talvez fosse muito diferente de como tudo aconteceu, desde meus primeiros anos.

Quero descobrir quem eu sou. Quero descobrir do que eu gosto. Quero definir as coisas que sei fazer. Quero conhecer o mundo. Quero ter a melhor ideia que EU já tive. Não precisa ser a melhor de todas, mas aquela que faça sentido pra mim. Eu quero que a minha vida faça sentido. Quero saber responder porque eu escolhi o meu caminho e porque eu não me arrisquei até hoje.

Quero ser eu mesma, e não alguém que os outros querem que eu seja. Sem medos, ansiedades, sem nenhum peso nas costas. Só ser eu mesma.
