It concerns you not

To try and understand me.

I'm just a fish against the current.

You think you can hook me?

Wrong, think again,

For you are used to guppies

And what a piranha I am.

Don't try to build a bridge over troubled water,

For me is best you build

One hell of a good dam.

I am a torrid river with merciless torments

Yet you won't understand it,

Go swimming somewhere else.

At night,

My waters are cloudy with nightmares

Even the stones are afraid of my wrath

You think you can brige the gap,

What an ignorance!

Beware, friend, for

He who swims in muddy waters

Too often ends up drowned.

The battlegrounds of Hell,

The pyres burning bright

Like the brightest day

Amongst shadows

Aphrodite's chariot is

Blazing love and passion,

See Persephone and Hades

With Iris.

Mingling in happiness

The ****** are there as well

Watching life pass by

With seriousness revered.

They're singing a sad tune

About love long lost,

About dreams not met,

About life and death

And what could go wrong.

"Beloved, know your master, "

Says Hades, of all,

The eldest of all devils

With her fell in love.

Persephone,

Of Iris her only child born,

Her beauty a flower

From Mount Olympus.

Forced to spend six months

Hidden underground,

Paying debt so strong,

She said without a doubt:

"Yes, alright. I'll go. "

And things took a turn

For better or worse,

The shores of the Styx

Were witness of all.

Fight fire with fire,

Fight fire with love.

Go fight Father Time

With Mother Nature.

And I must be dreaming

For this rhyme is too long

This requiem for the ******,

Not so ****** after all.

The world created us
To belong in this constant state of ecstasy;
Living in the middle,
Creatures of balance,
The absurdity of it amuses me.

Balance,
Easier to say than to obtain,
The center of everything that is sacred.

Balance,
For we are intensely human,
For we have gentle depths,
We are
Of heart unreachable and obtuse of brain,
Needy for redemption or revenge.

Balance,
For one misspoken word or
Misunderstood action leads to tragedy,
For fate is certainly a twisted *******.

Awake,
The lioness,
Alive and hungry,
Of turgid past, with many dreams deferred
Awake,
Eyes open, finding causes
To understand that some causes have effects.

Long, long ago she faced injustice with a growl
Of pain and fury,
And then her faith collapsed.
Erasing from the blackboard  all she was,
Replanted her ideals further down.

Walks the lioness
With weary paws the land
That once belonged to her pride as to the world,
A battle always fought but never won, for
This sets the world apart from deeper down.

Awakes the Lioness,
All hear her roar tonight,
All apotheosize the sole sight of her crown.

Every day is a battle.
With feelings and thoughts,
And you own aggression.
With the fire in your bloodstream,
And you complex fixations.
And the universe is in no way
In obligation
To make sense to you,
A kid, an aberration.
And "Volition" is just a term
To describe rebellion,
You couldn't keep that one in,
You Little Hellion.
Although the world always had
An explanation
For all major successes, there's no salvation.
There's no heaven and no hell,
Only isolation.
There's no love and there's no hate,
But resignation
To a world vile enough that sets the pressure
On your humanly, small shoulders
Made for perfection.

You got called to do the Devil's bidding,
Blood and bones,
It is his coat of arms.
Words are energy and they cast spells,
Its "Mind in the absence of body,
Body in the absence of mind."

You can  love a monster, Kid,
But that doesn't change its nature.
In Satan's Jigsaw puzzle
You were half-demon, half-god.
Forgotten by the world, but not by your Creator,
From the womb of the earth
All patron-saints march.

You don't have to be evil to dance with the Devil,
"One dies as he lives," they say where I am from
Burned too bright for this world
Entombed below perceptions,
Searching meaning
Where there shouldn't be at all.

Everything that's ever been said is a lie,
Earth awaits for its hero with delight.
And when you hold the universe
In the palm of  your hand,
To talk about death is to talk about life.

Forget everything you've ever known,
Start over,
A functional adult
Is merely a fictional adult,
You might not be in control of what life throws at you,
But the reaction to it entails a tricky job.

But why did you think
This was going to be easy?
This might be revolting,
But is still kind of fun.
That's a lot of heart to carry,
But, if the truth cannot be proven,
Is it still the truth at all?

This world scares me,
Paralyzes me.

My name isn't as clear
As it once used to be.

I once burned with the fire and
Now ashes are all that's left of me.

I once danced with the storm,
The thunder my drum and beat,
But my dance was none of joy,
It was one of pain, you see.

My secrets revealed to an unjust world
In poetry,
Undeserving of beauty,
Concerned with Psychiatry,
Drowning in screens and black coffee,
Anxiety and sobriety.

A world so unstoppable
It continues to puzzle me.
These are chaotic times, Lass,
And too many rely on me.

Strong girl, brave girl
(Crumbling)

What brought the Girl of Steel to her knees?

My heart is the one to blame
For it was cursed like Sisyphus
To carry a heavy burden undeniably, painfully

It's all balderdash to me now, anyway
Girl of Steel at my core
But I still somehow fade away.

I'm the doomed, the ******, the triumphant
With no promises and no regrets,
And cold hands, like doomed lovers,
Hung by strings, a marionette.

Someone told me it's no small thing
To control and choose your own end,
The universe loves a bad joke,
But respects the decadent.
