Didn't they tell you as a child to believe?
How old could you be who you want?
You are there who you are, then tell me something
Tell me if life is a test and if I don't get out

I undid the paper plane and wrote
Every detail that I want to change for me
Because it's no longer okay to confess and lie
Because it's no longer okay

I'm not as brave as you read in poems
I'm scared I cross out my prayers
I am afraid without security
I've been the class fool everyone was treating bad to **** myself in each poem for you

What are you staring at? What do you want?
Life has taught me to be like that, but it doesn't ask if you prefer it that way
Fourth cup, I have noticed that when you grow up you see more things
But it is also blind more than others

Instead of living, I would call it dying
Little by little over time, isn't it?
I protest Your Honor, I have evidence
And it's been a long time since I tripped over new stones

'm not the one I used to be, nor the one I want to be
Living on the sidelines of dreaming of a maybe
And I write to you again to make noise
Because I'm tired of sending you letters and not receiving yours

As a child, you told me to believe
When I was older I closed my eyes and left
Are you there whoever you are? Well tell me something
Tell me if life is a test and if I don't get out
Come on!

Tell me, I'll listen to you, I'll admit that I have half a foot inside your door
And I'll beg you to leave it open

And deep down nobody knows me and neither do you
I've had bad roses, that's why I wear costumes

What the hell are you complaining about if you made me like that
And you stopped me when I tried to get away from you
You taught me to distrust, to be brave
So I stopped to think one day and decided to face it

Count how many times you have left me empty and absent
A cold person who has a hard time opening up to people
She does not show feelings even if he is dying
And if it were up to her many days I wouldn't even get out of bed

Come, I'll tell you to your face
What do you have against me, I was happy before you took it away
And now I wake up pretending it, hiding the pain
Trying to find something that I lost inside

And I think I fill myself with things just to be a lump
I live in a hidden cave Life, of course, I blame you

Although I don't have clean hands at all
Since I stumbled and leaned them once on the mud
It's a burden to carry this nickname
Luckily you gave me a great family that never leaves me alone

The console consoles me when you are not there
I hate you so much and at the same time I give you my gratitude
Life happens whether you are at home or in a club
And time will put us all in a coffin

You who see me on your screen
I know you read me
Life never made it easy for me
I never gave up without a fight
Life made me hard and fragile like a diamond
I just want everything to be like before

And now are you going to ask me to change? Will you change something?
Tell me if you are a test and I will decide if I go out
If I keep on letting you use me as an embargo
You are nobody to tell me how little I am worth

Tell me, I'll listen to you, I'll admit, I have half a foot inside your door
And that I'll beg you to leave it open
