Thinking of days long gone

Of youth that was stolen from my soul

I cannot forgive, their spirit too heavy a toll

Angered and rebellious my thoughts linger on.

Ripeness corrupted by envy and small victories

Thus, most men walk this uniformly crooked path

Last humans or zombies lacking any wrath

Sedated, we forget our little merry histories.

But here hears my roar full of hate

My cries are not too late

Though our enemy is indeed great

Your childish joy still wants to create!

How can someone I do not love make me suffer? Because I love myself less.

How can I work a job I hate? Because I hate myself more.

How can I live in a society that cuts my wings? Because I’m afraid to fly.

Why do I reject myself? Because I’m not myself.

Throw yourself at me.

Impervious, I’ll remain the same.

My strength is not mine you see,

The source could not be more mundane.

I care not for what you say

Better yet, I care not for what I think.

A fool you stay making statues of clay,

Courageously dumb I let my ambitions sink.

The only thing I ask of you

Is to erase me from memory.

This world’s too ugly to be true,

Larger than life I refuse a eulogy.

I tried, tried, and tried again

To no avail, the winner is always pain.

Tears never shed; feelings never shared

This life is dry, all blood has bled.

Today, I lost myself in desire. And today, I found my way back.

Today, I decided to no longer succumb to pleasure. And today, I craved it.

Why should we experience delight and shame from things alike?

Why is more never enough and too much?

Cheiro fresco a maresia

Que lembranças me trouxeste!

Da praia, das ondas e do Verão sem fantasia,

E o tempo que não passou. Sim, foi isso que me deste!
