So full of suffering.
Full of wrong ways
which we follow sometimes.
It's a labyrinth from which
we try to get out,
imagining the other side.

There's only a solution,
one way to be followed
and, maybe, one truth to be proved.
It's a labyrinth in which
we can't bear to live.

Useless wanting to change that reality
– reality purer than happiness.
It's a labyrinth about which
we know nothing.

It's much suffering for little time,
therefore, I'd rather decorate this prison
in order to be able to make it happier.

I don't stay here, because where I always dreamt of being,
life gave to me no chance.
Poem inspired by "Looking for Alaska", John Green's book.

When the lights go out
I am afraid of myself,
my shadow stops walking aimlessly
and my friends become souls.

Stuck to a new thought,
I go through my awareness in hurry.
I don't want to be so slow,
therefore, I don't live such a life.

I didn't still get used to the dawn;
it's so captivating, full of future.
I didn't still get used to lose you.

And here's so dark;
more than the nightfall.
Hard to live, I swear...

Hey Eduardo!
Your name won't be forgotten.
It will echo through our heads
as well as screams of despair.
It will invade our hearts
as well as old lovers.

Where are the moments
which stab the chest,
investigate the body
and fill it with sorrow?
Where did they go?
Where are they?

Oh Eduardo!
I can't be courageous;
not after seeing you so cold.
She can't stand upright;
not after having her heart broken.

So much time penetrated the darkness
made you wish one last will;
– almost unreachable, almost in vain...
I hope they know how to be sensitive,
because I really don't know what else I must feel.
Oh too many words dissolved into a simple yearning!
It all happened so fast
I turned my back and you were gone
A moment in time I can never get back
a moment I can never change
You did nothing wrong, it wasn't your fault
you waited until the light turned red.
He thought he could make it
but he failed
he hit you so hard, paramedics said it was instantaneous
but I don't believe, I can see the the pain in your eyes each time I close mine
you did nothing wrong
it wasn't your fault
now your gone
my best friend

R.I.P
The answer is in the quantum world.
Each probability exists in some reality,
As a multitude of collisions bind us
To who we think we are.

We cannot see the coded matrix,
This code to solidity in the face
Of empty space. We are not
creation’s children, but creation itself.

Ever smiled so hard it hurt your face
Ever laughed so hard you heart started to race
Because in that moment you were happy to be you
Proud of who you are
because in that moment you knew
that you don't intentionally hurt others
you don't intentionally feel the way you
In that moment you knew you found you
Because I'm happy...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM
