    Nothing Left To Say

    Nothing Left To Say

    nothing left to say
    only disappointment and astonishment
    people go seeking the trends
    people are afraid of the truth
    money moves everything
    and fame buys souls
    society loves hallucinations
    keeping opinions in silence
    shaming the truth
    revealing the mendacity
    they will erase your memories to make room f
    or new ones
    like in Nineteen Eighty-Four
    what is real
    our perceptions sometimes can be disillusions
    talking too much is dangerous
    you don’t have to think
    they will think for you
    buying your mind
    In the end, it is not essential to understand
    living a liveness life is fine and cool
    you don’t need education
    you don’t need books
    in this shallow society, the less you know, the more you trust
    in this superficial society, the less you think, the more you are reckless
    shallow blindness will lead humanity to the abyss.

  • I Want To Embrace My Fears

    I Want To Embrace My Fears

    I Want To Embrace My Fears

    I want to embrace my fears
    Even though I end up crying for so many reasons
    I want to love the pains in my heart

    Sometimes I have the feeling that I am in a ballroom
    With thousands of mirrors covering the walls and ceilings
    Each mirror reflecting a different image of myself

    I have to break every chain of the past that holds me captive
    Every day I am reborn as a new creature who is essentially made of stars
    I wonder how much of myself am I willing to lose to please the conventions

    Every time I write
    I am always scared of overexposing myself
    And anxiety overcomes

    People think I am too weird, complicated and anticonventional
    Just because they don’t understand me
    They cannot see in me anything else than a tropical flower

    Sometimes I am subject to street harassment
    Which is a habit that will never pass as well as the rape culture

    Society normalises and supports sexual objectification and criticisms

    I am a descendent of the witches who weren’t burned.

  • Without Darkness

    Without Darkness

    Without Darkness

    Without darkness, there wouldn’t be light
    Without sadness, there wouldn’t be happiness
    The myth of false positivity and happiness at any cost
    It is just a hypocritical way to betray the honesty of the mind
    Just like a good filler makeover and a fake smile
    This life became a tragicomedy where real people act like ridiculous clowns

    Nowadays, everything is so fictitious
    Nowadays, everything is so falsely bright
    The philosophy of being happy and embrace the light
    It’s the new propaganda to conceal all the fears and problems
    The main is to be a shallow mentor, showing off and impressing
    It is just a blind society where there is no way to avoid rooted ignorance.

  • Plastic Faces

    Plastic Faces

    Plastic Faces

    Plastic faces mimic a seductive emptiness
    Solitude is a trap that makes us thirsty for attention
    Pride feeds on superficial knowledge
    While vanity subjugates the eyes
    Artificiality is the new trend
    And superficiality is the new attire
    Nowadays, faces are similar to assembled cars
    Plastic ducks desperately seek attention from a shallow multitude
    Since individuality and imperfections are the enemies of this society
    Everything must be smooth and polished like shining plastic
    The store of our patriarchal society sells faces and bodies
    Plastic shells please hollow minds
    Image is everything, and content is shallow
    We should treasure culture like an exquisite gem
    Nevertheless, the ordinary flow of banality brutalises everything
    The capitalism and exploitation of individuals created this society
    Persons are considered soulless numbers without a name
    Members of a crowd of anonymous who are just invisible nobodies
    Silence is consent and the origin of anguish
    Everyone should be responsible for a change
    Society should not be based anymore on lookism
    The vicious superficiality feeds on ignorance and indifference
    Society should erase every kind of discrimination and bigotry
    We should empower intellectualism and erudition
    Individuality and integrity should not sink in the mud of stupidity
    And being poetry ethereal and metaphysical
    It feeds arid souls in a desolate reality.
