Esterilidades

Consegues ver-me?..
É que eu às vezes não me vejo, cobre-me a manta firme das minhas certezas e fico imersa no meu esquema confortável de movimentos e atitudes banais.
Inspiro e expiro, num ritmo constante, e fecho a porta a quem quer entrar. Ainda que a principal interessada a querer entrar seja eu.
Nem sei mais o que é que me prende, o que me bloqueia. Durmo!
E esta dormência estéril afasta-me da liberdade.
Parece-me que a teia que tenho andado a tecer está enrodilhada, ao ponto de não conseguir sair do mesmo sítio.
Quero acordar.

Guaranteed

On bended knee is no way to be free
Lifting up an empty cup, i ask silently
All my destinations will accept the one that's me
So i can breathe...
Circles they grow and they swallow people whole
Half their lifes they say goodnight to wives they will never know
A mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul
And so it goes..
Don't come closer or i'll have to go
Holding me like gravity are places that pull
If ever there was someone to keep me at home
It wouldn't be you..
Everyone I come across, in cagess they bought
They think of me and my wandering, but i'm never what they thought
I've got my indignation, but i'm pure in all my thoughts
I'm alive..
Wind in my hair, i feel part of everywhere
Underneath my being is a road that disappeared
Late at night i hear the trees, they're singing with the dead
Overhead..
Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satelite, forever orbiting
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me
Guaranteed.
