I learned that we rush to grow up
since the day we turn fifteen
that our childhood dream
of being invisible
has turned into a terrible nightmare
that we hope to read our future
in the smoke of cigarrettes
and that we look for answers
at the bottom of the bottles
that flying means more than
throwing yourself from the roof
and floating beyond the sky
that if we stop sleeping
we would mix reality
and dreams
and sometimes that's all we need
That maybe the cure of cancer lives
inside the mind of a child
who can't afford education
that no one would behave as society demands
if we had nothing to lose
that hearts only break once for real
and that liars were once
the purest
that cold and heartless people
don't really exist
that we all have scars
maybe not in our wrists
but in our hearts and souls
or in the little universes that we create
and crumbled down
that we all had an imaginary friend
to keep us from being alone
when mom and dad used to fight
that the best poetry cones from chaos and pain
and that we use art to release our anger
because it's just art
and it doesn't worry anyone
that if each of us were a little bit kinder
less people would wish to disappear
and the world would be a better place
I understood that the books are a lot like mirrors
that we only see in them
what we already carry inside of us
that if we would send less texts
we'd know when a friend feels lonely
that we rather take pictures of the moment
than livig it with the person sitting next to us
That there are no potions to forget the pain
nor chocolates that makes us feel better
that we are all a little crazy
and we are okay with that
that happiness depends on us
and how bad we look for it
but this is just what I learned
and I don't know...
what did you ?
