Ir ou não ir; eis a questão!

Making good use of my last brain cell.
You think you own whatever land you land on
The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name...
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew...
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sunsweet berries of the Earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they're worth.
I live in a world made up of ugly. You can watch me revolt away from one angle,
to the next, and to the next… and to the next.
Until I’ve done a 360 degree circle around myself, and don’t know what to do anymore.
It’s the space between me and the mirror, and how much I dare to get closer.
To examine every repulsive detail and to leave, shrinking from the world made up of ugly, feeling exposed to every shameful attacking fiber within.
The nice things people tell you don’t matter, unless you think nice things of them or care
about what they think to begin with.
It’s a shame that their veracity sells for so little until the moment they say something awful. Because whatever negative thing they might say, whether from a backstabbing friend or a stranger, it’s never anything new to you. You’ve been telling yourself that all the time.
It’s a fleeting thought riddling with anger, a thought that you understood and believed in for what seemed like forever.
... At first I thought the world had problems, now I’m sitting here and looking at myself in the mirror and realize that it’s all me.
The next thing I know I am sprawled out on the floor in my own vomit. A flash of bloodcurdling red before my eyes and screams of hate are deafening. The smell is nauseating and I am inches from blacking out.
This was what I wanted more than anything; to fade away from reality into utter darkness. I wished for more than anything to disconnect from hatred.
People change, I reassured myself, just show them you believe in them, and they will come to realization that what they did was wrong. Plus, they love me, they will change.
This is the price you pay for putting every inch of you into another.
The fucking price you pay.
And that’s when I stood in the bathroom, wondering what the hell is wrong with me
and why I couldn’t be stronger to make the right choices and stand up for who I was
and what I believed in. It was frightening, my reflection.
Because that wasn’t me… it was a monster.
There are moments in life when you feel like you are watching yourself from the outside.
The moments that matter are the ones that wake you back to reality…like this moment.
And then you feel your heart break. There is nothing you can do.
There's no worse feeling than feeling alone.
When you feel you can't count on anyone...
When you feel like the world turned the back on you, or maybe,
you turned your back to the world.
When you feel like there's no hope. No feelings.
However, thinking of losing my mother, for an instance, I feel worse...
... I feel like I'd lose, not the world... but myself.
I don't want no vengeance... in my life.
I want to learn how to live with my past, without having to miss anything.
I want to be able to add life to my days instead of adding days to my life.
I want to love NOW, 'cause the past is not coming back and there might not be a tomorrow.
I want to risk, I don't want to miss out... 'cause the only permanent thing in our lives is Change.
Nonetheless, it's not necessary a huge ray of intelligence to realize what I mentioned above,
but it's necessary a good dose of wisdom to accept it.
We don't see things like they seem, we see them like we are.
"Let determination be part of our lives."
Mais uma vez a vida desilude-me...
Nao quero empurrar as culpas para cima de outra pessoa,
que nao eu
mesma, pois só eu as mereço carregar.
Senão , vamos analizar o que eu atrás escrevi:
"a vida desilude-me"...
Se eu me desiludi, primeiro precisei de me iludir...
Mas será que me
iludi mesmo, ou apenas mais uma vez sonhei?
Sempre fui uma sonhadora, uma perfeccionista
que não se conforma com o "apenas normal".
Tem de ser mais, tem de ser melhor,
tem de ser diferente, e
tem de ser assim em tudo!
Tudo em busca de uma felicidade aparente que,
quando aparece ao fim do
túnel, já dá que desconfiar, mas desta vez,
eu estava mesmo convencida que
tinha encontrado um bocadinho de felicidade...
Aliás: por um tempo posso
afirmar que fui mesmo feliz...
A minha busca incessante pela felicidade,
tem-se focalizado muito no plano
material. Essa tem sido a minha grande busca...
Todavia posso dizer que por um tempo encontrei
a felicidade espiritual e,
penso que a possa igualmente denominar de afectiva,
que eu tanto não procurava.
Mas posso dizer que a encontrei... por um tempo...
Tudo dura um tempo...
Nós duramos um tempo, pelo menos por aqui,
e depois logo se vê...
As plantas duram um tempo,
aos animais (como nós) duram um tempo,
as edificações do homem dura um tempo,
o nosso sol dura um tempo
e (penso eu de que) até o universo, dura um tempo...
Não é necessário um grande rasgo de inteligência
para poder descobrir o que atrás referi,
mas é necessário uma boa dose de sabedoria para o aceitar.
Essa sabedoria é que eu não tive
para poder perceber isso a tempo...
porque tudo tem o seu tempo,
e a minha alegria,
foi trocada pela tristeza de
descobrir o que poderia ter sido,
o que foi e o que provavelmente, já não o é...
Terá acabado o tempo?
Será isto apenas uma visão distorcida da realidade irreal?
Não sei...
Apenas sei o que vejo,
o que sinto,
e isso posso afirmar:
Sinto-me triste...
Mas essa tristeza,
como tudo o mais na vida e até como a própria vida,
durará apenas por um tempo...
durará apenas por um tempo...
and the Midnightmare trampling of dreams
But on, no tears please
Fear and pain may accompany Death
But it is desire that shepherds it's certainty
as We shall see..."
She was divinity's creature
That kissed in cold mirrors
A Queen of Snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Dark liqoured eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She shone on watercolours
Of my pondlife as pearl
Until those who couldn't have Her
Cut Her free of this World
That fateful Eve when...
The trees stank of sunset and camphor
Their lanterns chased phantoms and threw
An imquisitive glance, like the shadows they cast
On my love picking rue by the light of the moon
Putting reason to flight
Or to death as their way
They crept through woods mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Of Her hips that held sway
Over all they surveyed
Save a mist on the rise
(A deadly blessing to hide)
Her ghost in the fog
They raped left...
(Five men of God)
...Her ghost in the fog
Dawn discovered Her there
Beneath the Cedar's stare
Silk dress torn, Her raven hair
Flown to gown Her beauty bared
Was starred with frost, I knew Her lost
I wept 'til tears crept back to prayer
She'd sworn Me vows in fragrant blood
"Never to part
Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts"
Then this I screamed:
"Come back to Me
I was born in love with thee
So why should fate stand inbetween?"
And as I drowned Her gentle curves
With dreams unsaid and final words
I espied a gleam trodden to earth
The Church bell tower key...
The village mourned her by the by
For She'd been a witch
their Men had longed to try
And I broke under Christ seeking guilty signs
My tortured soul on ice
A Queen of snow
Far beyond compare
Lips attuned to symmetry
Sought Her everywhere
Trappistine eyes
An Arabian nightmare...
She was Ersulie possessed
Of a milky white skin
My porcelain Yin
A graceful Angel of Sin
And so for Her...
The breeze stank of sunset and camphor
My lantern chased Her phantom and blew
Their Chapel ablaze and all locked in to a pain
Best reserved for judgement that their bible construed...
Putting reason to flight
Or to flame unashamed
I swept form cries
Mesmerized
By the taffeta Ley
Or Her hips that held sway
Over all those at bay
Save a mist on the rise
A final blessing to hide
Her ghost in the fog
And I embraced
Where lovers rot...
Her ghost in the fog
Her ghost in the fog
