I Am

I am the one,

who stays quiet like a book waiting for someone that can read it;

the one,

whose soul starves for the opportunity to create

an unusual perception of every single object it sees.

I wonder why we always build our own prison,

killing the heart and feeding the hatred.

I pretend to be a dreamer;

the one,

who is going to wait for a new world

until we can accept the real meaning of compassion.

I worry about the way in which we escape from our identity,

changing life for gold and gold for death.

I understand that life is cruel;

however,  it is the best method to learn the gift of love.

I say that nobody has the right to kill a dream,

but dreams have the right to kill the doubts.

I dream about a change in which I can design a piece of a new galaxy

in which all humans can be together as our original inventor thought once.

I try to give my best every single day

in order to live without nightmares.

I hope to find happiness

in each smile that people can return to me.

I am the one

who stays quiet like a book waiting for someone that can read it;

the one,

whose soul starves for the opportunity to create

an unusual perception of every single object it sees.
