Things I wrote some time ago...

Things I wrote some time ago...
 

AMORPHOUS


Glass-like molten pieces of me

Red-fire incandescent mixed-up pieces of someone

Someone that used to be me

Shattered remains of an unknown unmet personage

Listless remnants of my limbs

Leftovers of who once I was to be

 

Waiting, hoping, deceiving myself

My bigoted ego

The unbreakable mirror

That reflects nothing, but pain

That shapeless untamable silhouette

That darkens the prison where I stay

 

Barbed wire around my body and neck

Doing in, doing deep

The stems of the rose of pain

Entangled forever around my brain

Eyeless sound

Fake hatred

Forced love

Untrue feelings, my filthy fa�ade


Where is the craftsman I need

To shape and model my unborn dreams?

Hopelessly awaiting in this illusion

As blurred and diffuse as my confusion

Wild pieces, my jigsaw

The undefined definition

That puzzles me up

And makes my heart want to vomit blood


SOLITUDE

 

Away

Alone

A lost child

Shaking destiny�s spiteful hand

Not even a mouthful of words

From him will come out

His voice has gone unheard

As an outsider he has always felt

Words cannot inhabit his world

That distant world

Of hideous feelings and bad cards dealt

Wry contradictions tear his mind

For loneliness� vicious cycle

Will he never dare leave behind

Well done! You are a real poet Gustavo!
The Solitude reminds me of a story called "The Little Match Girl" by H. C. Andersen.
She must have felt so lonely and cold in the snow...
There is a nice ballet based on this sad story, performed in the Czech National Theatre.
I hope to see it soon...

I wish the future brings you many shiny days!

Try to see someone specialized in Chinese medicine if you can. That could help. I suffered from a depressive state at one time and it really helped! Good luck.
