Child.

you reminded me of innocence
how natural the pearl shines
how beautiful the colours of a day is
it's the hope of a possibility
presumed murdered entitial is undead
still breathing seven grounds under
you reminded me of everything
I never get to experience before
knew the feeling or had a close guess
that was before I saw its reflection on those crystal walls
crashed together before ours
knowing a feeling is just knowing
before its pulls you into the wonderland
you begin following Herald
aces all around you
filled with hope
with a mental state
peaceful like the sleep of a grandma
without interruptions
filled with pure bliss
you showed me
where there is a bird
where it's allowed to re-humanize
we talked about it patiently
trying to figure out
magnificence of denials
we sat together under the shades of crimson
conversing all night about what's left of human
we talked about that innocent child
who was born as a human
turned into a creature of everything it isn't
was an infant once before
capable to make wishes
live for everything it wanted
it was dependent but in a magical way
owned the liberacy of the kingdom
we had a talk once
he whispered
he said that he never felt alone
all the love was everything he needed
to build a home
he told me about how he loved his mama
before the child was lost in infinite drama
he was happy to be around
outside world was warm and cozy
fulfilling every expectation he had in the belly
but then his time
it was time
he used to watch his reflection
never seeing it for the person he is
but who he to become
mystified but crystal clear
he examined as the mirror one day
decided to put some emphasis on his shoulders
he looked at a man
man of his world
filled with unclarity
leaving the double
he went to give his mama a hug
he now knew three words
far more than enough
he went to sleep
dreamed about how he loved his mama
how beautiful she was
like a princess with a feathered gown
a tiara on her golden hair
reminding him that she is the proud ruler of this kingdom
boy wakes up with the nightmare
seeing the mother ever different than before
she has lost the joy
calls for the father
remembering that he is not home
he tries to sleep
waking himself up the following day
he realizes he isn't himself anymore
this manly creature isn't he
and the mirror is lying no more
Hello
says the double
I've been expecting you
boy looks around with interrogating eyes
you know the answer
himself goes on
no
no I don't
he says
I'm sure you feel it
himself continues
I can't touch it
he says
Really
Can you not feel with your eyes
himself asks
I
I don't know
I never tried my whole life
We're taught anotherwise
another verse that is
another verse of the first chapter
the everlasting chapter of infinite lies
welcome to the reality
this is now who you are
But I
I don't like this
it is warwick
it's like a wolf
Some would prefer the word Alpha
himself continues
Am I a wolf
I don't want to be
this is not I
and what is I exactly
a scenic expression of your momentum
considering the circumstances
I is superpositioned
I don't like this
Please
Please save me from this deed
he repeats, trying to count the feathers
making their appearance on his claws
do you know what you were born as
the double asks
Human!
the boy excitedly shouts
and do you know what that means
do you know what it means to be human
I get to be me!
the boy cries out
and who is you
an interchanging entity
are you really there
or is that a reaction of your visuality
"I think
therefore I exist!"
the boy continues
what do you think
you know your fate is to become a better wolf
being human is an opposition
it's a nonsensical word people use to prove their authenticity
where am I?
let me out!
double smiles from the otherside
I know you are to become a wolf
like the rest of your pack
Just once, for you,
I want to try being a human.
