there is a system outside
waiting to drop you
break you
up & down
melt you until you get to the right size
there is a system outside
starves you to your bones
if you choose to not do it right
there is a system outside
works brilliantly
the infamous invisible hand
where the own kind hurts its own
with pleasure
calls it business
calls it shame
pride & prejudice
stands together with the condition that it won't visit another
there is a system outside
built to burn you
if you aren't already one of the puppets
standing side by side
the puppetmaster
created via the bigger picture
making the puzzle
each one carries its own rose
to the thorny grave
it works faithfully
exploiting all the insecurity
letting the soul fade
memories go in vain
and the person disappear
judging each & every action
feeding it with the possibility to not belong
there is a system outside
rotates by pure blood
dark & cold
built to create fear upon death
taught to look away
taught to meditate the existential pain
I need to break free
pressured by my own
constant & ruthless
hurting some by breaking the rules
too sensitive
vulnerable & too painful to be real
as far as the 19 took me
I could never bear the loss of human
I couldn't betray
as the way they breathe is destruction to my own
what if really
we are the aliens
I know I am one
a mighty sanitorial creature
an opposition to the looks
a paradoxical truth of the universe
what do I breathe
besides the smoke covering the air
be(side) the dark irrelevant shame
how do I opt-out of this
how do I save my soul
it's shivering my core
yet we are expected to do it every day
no such thing as a bore
Sinatra was right
in fact I don't know if I have a single answer anymore
I thought about this
years & years ago
& I think about it now
what the hell am I growing into
it was safe to dream
now my days are filled with fear
wondering when one of my own will decide
it's time to blow the whistle for us all
maybe we'll all be slaves to some puppetmaster again
nowhere is safe
my own is haunting my soul
I've been here long long before
but still none of this is
something I wouldn't want to run away
I'm not sure I can ever be able to prepare for this
as being good transforms you into a prey
designed as a source of entertainment for your own kind
I feel damaged
unable to be shaped & sized where the master wants
crystallizing over & over
attempting
to see
if there is any way to my safety
far
far away
at times I want to fall into a hole
leave everything behind
smell the forest
learn the language eventually
inflict myself the life I've been longing for
I'm constantly reminded
of my suffocation
as it was inscribed for me to become a humangel
rose before I thorn
but no
I will find a way out of this
like I always do
one day I will find a way to break my soul free
burning solely for its own
I won't give up my reasons
to spread the infinite love
dedicate myself for the good
the nature is balanced
1 - 1
if I feel these
if I'm out of nowhere called to inscribe these
then it's time
dear ones
who see between the lines
this is a calling to you
it's time
we have our lot to retrieve
Until our truth is not left with enough time
We have to remember
Remember who we were born to become
Remembering is the key...
