Human for Real.

Today I’m feeling an urge to write
Even though my words are still on strike

I seriously don’t understand,
Why do people love to pretend?

I asked
And re-asked

I observed
And re-observed

It just doesn’t make any sense to me
Trying to be someone we weren’t born to be

I know how hard is to be myself
But I can’t give up… Why don’t you fight for yourself?

It feels good to cry without being embarrassed
It feels great to shine without being afraid

There won’t be anyone to point at you
Most of them don’t really care, so why should you?

Now about the ones you love
They will accept and love you back

There will be a smile after a tear
There will be a laugh after a cry

Because that’s what we are,
Human for real.

We go up and we go down
But we never reach the ground

There will always be someone to give us a hand
Even though we are just another grain of sand

There will always be someone to hold us together
Yes, today and forever…

Because that’s what we are,
Human for real.

Because that’s what we do
Look up for each other and the same goes for you

Yes, you’re special…

Because that’s what you are,
Human for real.

Choices...

A cold whisper
Against the warm skin

Makes my body shiver
Makes my heart trigger

A deep sigh
Followed by the last breath, a last wish

Makes my soul fly
Makes who’s now beside me cry

The words were cruelly spoken
The truth was instantly accepted

Who wants to argue
When there’s no time left behind?

My name won’t be remembered
My pictures will be burnt

A tear rolls down a pale cheek
A heart skips its last beat

Was it painful?
Was it hard?

Is it over?
Is it too late to say goodbye?

I don’t know
I don’t care

He kept its promise
I’m now dead

What did I do?
Why did I do it?

It was just getting too difficult
To wake up and look inside

There was an empty heart
There was a forgotten soul

Now everything it’s on its place
But I’m no longer in control

But who cares anyway?
I’m just what I was born to be…

A dark dream
A triumphant nightmare.

An End.

A moment…

I was lying on my back
Awake, listening to the last track

A sigh…

I was searching my heart for hope
Cold, giving a loop on the rope

A tear…

I was looking at my refection
Tired, shivering at all the imperfection

A pray…

I was waiting for the pain to go away
Shocked, watching it coming the same way

A scream…

I was having a dreadful day
Stressed, convincing myself I was okay

A dream…

I was speaking some prophetic prose
Tender, smiling at a white rose

A breath…

I was giving my heart and soul
Terrified, losing all the control

A chance…

I was needing a shoulder to cry
Thoughtful, asking myself why

An end…

Freak Show

I’m feeling so lonely,
I’m feeling so lost…

My brain is tempting my heart
To just stop beating

My brain is tempting my lungs
To just stop breathing

And as I watch them arguing over the subject
I finally realise that I have no power over my life

My only role on this freak show
Is watching the others laugh as I fall

And their role on this stupid show
Is watching me grow as they walk pass by

I once cared about what they said
Meaning that 5 seconds ago I trusted their judgement

But now I just realised
That’s not what I’m needing

So for the first time in my life
I decided it was time to stop my cry

And now I begin to pray
For the pain to go away

I’m feeling so tired
I’m feeling so wounded

I’m tempting my heart
To just stop beating

I’m tempting my lungs
To just stop breathing

And as I close my eyes
I know that it’s over

No more nightmares
No more responsibilities

“It was great to be here.”
I lie.

“It was a pleasure to meet you.”
I sigh.

“Now I need to go.”
I leave.

“Out of this freak show.”

Words.

The Eclipse

Sometimes I find myself thinking,
Are mistakes worth of making?
Are risks worth of taking?

Are we strong enough?
Are we ready to fight for our desires?
Are we prepared to face our fears?

There was a time when I thought I was
I just felt it, stronger like the moon
Capable of rising up even though she was hated for thousands

I was brave enough to fight for what I wanted
Like the moon, when the sun didn’t want to set
She fought back and pushed harder

Still I always respected the others
Like the moon, even thought she preferred the night
She always wished the sun “Sweet Dreams” and “Goodnight.”

Suddenly there was this dust
I looked around and I could see nothing
Like the moon, during the eclipse, I felt lost

As fast as it came, as fast as it went away
But now something had changed
Like the moon, I was scared I would never be the same

People were staring at me with those curious eyes
Like the moon, I blushed and tried to hide
Away from the crowd, away from the night

I found myself at the beach watching the sunrise
Like the moon, I was crying
But unlike her, I had stopped trying

Yet I ask…
Are mistakes worth of making?
Are risks worth of taking?

Are we strong enough?
Are we ready to fight for our desires?
Are we prepared to face our fears?

Like the sun, I will keep running away from the darkness
Like the sun, I will keep doing my job without the answers

Because I know that someday…
The Eclipse will be back and I will be the same.

All Good Things Come to An End.

There’s this sound
That keeps playing in my head

I’m not sure if it is a song
I’m not sure where it comes from, if it really comes from somewhere

The melody is amazing
The lyrics are inexistent yet breathtaking

There’s this sound
That keeps playing in my head

I’m sure I heard it before
I’m sure I learned it somewhere

As I close my eyes
As I sigh deeply

Something starts to appear in front of my eyes
Something glorious that feels weakly

A smile took over my sad expression
A healthy laugh won the battle against my tears

As I take a deep breath
As I let my hands lay on my lap

Something makes my heart skip a beat
Something mutes the sound and gives its space to silence

Now there’s this scent
That keeps playing with my senses

I’m not sure if it’s a flower
I’m not sure where it comes from, if it really comes from somewhere

The feeling is wonderful
The aroma is powerful yet soft

Now there’s this scent
That keeps playing with my senses

I’m sure I smelled this before
I’m sure I tried it somewhere

As I open my eyes
As I blink more than twice

Something makes me cry
Something makes my want to said goodbye

There’re these memories
That keep playing with my heart

I’m sure I lived them once in the past
I’m sure I won’t ever forget them

Because they are the ones that make it worth of the present
Because they are the ones who still make me smile

Once again I close my eyes
Once again I take a deep breath

Something starts to warm me up
Something makes my muscles relax

Now there’s this vision
That fills my hopes and desires

It’s from a better world
A world that I decided to hold onto

Something makes me jump
Something wakes me up

It was all a dream
A dream that was once real

I’m back to live the present now
I’m back to the point zero

Where everything is painful
Where there are no reasons to smile

I just wish I could go back
I just wish I had enjoyed it more

Because today…
I’m not as happy as before.

It will always be waiting for you...

I guess I never really cared
About all the things I shared

I ended up telling you the truth
Meaning, everything I could

Now that you went away
There’s nothing else to say

I knew that it would happen someday
I just thought that day was pretty far away

Somehow I keep my legs away
From the place of the couch where you used to stay

My table is always set for two
Like you are here too

I told you I wouldn’t ever forget you
I meant it, it’s actually true

That place on the right side of my bed
Is waiting for you as it always will be

Because you left your perfume on my pillows
Because I held you and you set me free

That red blouse I always loved
Is waiting for you as it will always be

Because you cried on my shoulder
Because I held you and you set me free

That blanket we used to lay down by the fireplace
Is waiting for you as it will always be

Because I can remember you stroking my hair as I laid by your side
Because I held you and you set me free

Now there is one last thing I wanted to tell you…

That place on my neck that you used to kiss softly
Is waiting for you as it will always be

Because there’s no one else here who knows the secret
Because there’s no one else here who knows the real me

Thanks for everything.

With love,

The one who will keep you near.
