LINES OF THOUGHT © 2014
Many times I am not myself,
I am the shadow of someone I do not know,
A diffuse reflection that has fallen asleep,
In the mirrors of a defenceless time.
There is a stranger within me,
A figure that speaks without my hearing,
That shapes each step, limits me,
And hides what I should truly feel.
In the future, perhaps I will be able to be,
Just myself, in the purest form,
Without masks, without fear of seeing
The truth that the soul holds secure.
And when that day finally arrives,
I will coexist with who I am inside,
Without fleeing, without fading away,
Embracing the self I keep at my core.
