I'm Alright

I feel empty and alone. I’ve been floating for so long. I’ve never fought against the wind that has brought me down. I am stagnant in hell. I have no reason to live. Except for what I am writing down, what I’m yelling out. I ended up being lost in vain. All the efforts I have put to feel better with myself have given nothing. How can I pretend to be someone when I'm seeking for approval? I tried to stand up, I tried my hardest but I may not be good enough to carry on. I know that I must find the strength in myself to stop trying to please everyone. What matters to me will never expire. I’ll quit being passive and meaningless. I have been floating for so long. I've become weakness. I'm lost after all those years. I'm just a lost potential. I am dying to change this fucking miserable situation I’m in beginning with opening my eyes and stop acting like everything’s fine. I know that I must find the strength in myself to stop trying to please and be accepted by everyone surrounding me. I have always been I will ever be. I’m just a lost potential. This shell is broken. Please show me how to completely disappear Please do me a favor and never ask me how I feel again. Watch me fade away. I have always been I will ever be. I have become weakness, I’m lost after all those years. What matters to me will never expire, but I’m just a lost potential.

We are forced to evolve in a path that has been thought to be efficient, but we are left with unanswered questions and words that are still unspoken. Why is it so that the young don’t want to live? And it’s only when we read the letter they have left next to their fallen chair we realize how fucking insensitive we’ve been. We have the duty to educate, but we must take responsibility to stop pushing them from suffering. I might be a dropout but I can’t stand this elitist ideology. I don’t believe in this illusion of equal opportunities. Upward social mobility just doesn’t exist. Fuck your constitutional monarchy and your laws that make us criminals for simply being human beings and refusing to be the bearers of our palls. This is modern idiocy. What you give is who you are. How can you be proud of your elite if you neglect the people that need assistance and live in a world unfair to them? You cannot be proud of your elite if you neglect the people that need assistance and live in a world unfair to them. We must change our perception.

Your so called freedom sounds more like slavery when treated like stooges to maintain status quo. We are worth nothing more than a number. what is this world for if we are doomed to surrender? You have to push the limits of everything. Push the limits of everything. It is impossible for me to sleep when I know my parents will end up in a long-term nursing home and my kids will have to pay for my own cancer. We’re all born dead with a life that’s supposed to be gifted. There is no gift in pain, there’s no gift in lies. We won’t tolerate this bondage. Spit in the face of those who avoid the colour of your eyes. You are the only one who can decide whether you get up or not. But you’re blinded by the boredom of your laziness. For human reason to be harmless, they don’t want you to think. They don’t want you to see the beauty of human capability now reduced to circumstances and to fragments of hope burned to death by the breath of those who will remain. They don’t want you to know. All they want is your submission to a mold they’ve shaped themselves for human reason to be harmless. They don’t want you to see the beauty of human capability.

Before I reached the ground how could have I known that there’s nothing here you promised that I would benefit from. I refuse to see my life through this sphere of glass, a blurred picture of reality. Being in harmony between the role that you play and the person you are. Insurrection, I was waiting for you. I’ll expose you my heart. Explain where I am from. Show you what are the motives of my frustration, my revolt. I refuse to see my life through this sphere of glass. I’m constantly giving up, I fulfill someone else’s dream, I am nothing but a man in desperate revolt. I am a man in revolt. I'm pushed to disown what I know I am meant to be. Listen up! You’re fucking dead inside, you draw crosses over your dreams. Puppet; live in your fucking mold. Forget about those who want you to deny who you really are because it’s the only way to untie the knot around your neck. I’m a lie, I look serene, but I constantly lie to myself. To stand tall, I must be set to let go, to move on and obey the laws of my own consciousness. I refuse to see my life through this sphere of glass.

Centuries Apart

Afraid of something I’ve never felt, only safe in the warm movement of the sea. Let me breathe and I'll never come to the surface. What I can’t express gets printed in my mind. Like hatred for the betrayed, the silhouettes of hope won’t go away, they won’t ever go away. Deceptive / Illusive, I used to be made of ambitions and now my dreams are just a mess, I’m completely lost. My heartbeats, are feeding off my reason. There’s no need to fall apart. You don’t have to feel oppressed even in ceaseless search for identity. Those who led us here could return without hard feelings or sorrow and we may not have learned a lot or grown ever since, but we’ve never forgot who we are nor what we’re meant to be. We’ve clearly understood the duty to remain, to sustain the sound of our lives so it can be heard centuries apart and people could then say “Those people will never die”. It's hard to remember when it all started. We only have ourselves to blame.
