Awaken by nightmares at nightfall
I surrender to the sense of my fragility and languor
Condemned to wander perpetually in the forest of darkness
With no clear direction to follow
Stroked by the gelid indifference of humankind
I am lured to the realm of my dreams and delusions
To avoid facing reality and shun all conformism that brings me down
Choosing to stop hiding my emotions and let them flow like a winter rainfall
I decided to live on chimaeras and desires
Being determined that there is no impossibility
But everything is possible and feasible
As long as I belong to the world of dreams
Awaken by nightmares amid the night
My will leaves me and I become a paradox and absurdity
Because madness and folly strive to entangle me in their labyrinth with no escapes
Where I am bound to the whims of my fancies
I dissolve into the ethereal and I see that all my visions and dreams are real
And now the world where I live is magnificent and exquisite
I don’t feel pain, nor anguish, nor fear
Everything is beautiful and nonsense as it must be
When we greet and wish each other Good Morning or Good Evening
What do we really wish for?
Do we mean to continue our day as regular and similar to the previous one?
Or do we aim for something more spectacular and extravagant?
Most of the people live like monads
Always connected but disconnected and indifferent
Always connected but lonely and sad
They say, “Dress to impress,” but I would rather confirm that people wear masks just to avoid being themselves and exposing their flaws
Do we keep ourselves alive just to survive or to live?
I never understood the humankind mindset
It could be I’m not from this world but from another realm
Impressive would be to see humans show and manifest their real emotions and impulses
After all, we should all be awakened by nightmares to live our dreams.
