#melanchonic
There is a piece of me in every art piece ive made. A time capsule of who i was, what i felt in that moment. Meaningless expression to inspire meaningful connections
I am the shadow of a forest lake, whose waters wash the grey shores of sorrow. My half-sisters are drowned, their souls dissolving in the muddy water, wandering behind me on gray cloudy evenings, trying to grab the hem of my dress. I am a shadow without voice, without name, without age and memory of the past. Sometimes in the monochrome ripples of the water I could read the words, in its hieroglyphs of shadows and reflections, the words spoken before the Exodus, before the inevitable death, the words of the doomed. At such moments, like a cold stone snake penetrated into my heart, and pain fettered all my inside. I tried to erase the words with the darkness that enveloped me, but in vain. My tears could not erase the pain that soaked the waters of this lake. I was just a shadow, one that couldn’t change the flow of time and the flow of water. I could only watch. Then, overcoming a shiver, I lay down on the water and looked into the gray sky, hidden by a veil of clouds that were so inaccessible, and it seemed to me in them, as in this lake, there is the same shadow that could only feel the coldness of this lake of tears.

Navidad?
Disculpen algunos, vemos diferente y vivimos diferente, pero realmente que es la navidad, desde pequeño crecí sin saber acerca de ella, rara vez la festejamos, como un simple intercambio y ya, sin en cambio, me alegra ver a los demás pasándola genial o divertirse con sus personas queridas, no pido comprensión, pero crecí en un ambiente lleno de amor, pero a medida que iba creciendo vi lo peor de las personas, estar rodeado de hipocresías, al igual que para algunos, es triste saber que ya no estarán más personas que dejaron de estar, por qué llenarse de tristeza y no de felicidad?, aún tenemos cosas pero ni de adultos apreciamos, solo desprovechamos, buscamos la misma emoción, cuando jamás se repetirá, debemos agradecer por lo que aún hay antes de notar que no está, apreciamos lo ido, que olvidamos lo que tenemos, sin embargo, porque ser así solo durante estas fechas?, se que no todos insisto, pero después se olvidan, se dejan de hablar o continúan discusiones, pero esa noche que tiene de especial?, lo único que la hace así es, que nosotros la hacemos ser asi, pero podemos hacerla vivir más, no solo en navidad o noche buena, sino diario, reunirse de vez en cuando, sin excusa o pretexto, ya que al final, pero esos mismas acciones no nos libramos del día que partamos de acá, pero me entristece ver que haya personas que la pasen con personas que no se sientes a gusto com si familia, que les falta un hogar, que hay problemas en el y solo quieren llorar, lo lamento por esas personas, pero simplemente quiero dar a entender que no solo esta fecha seamos así de felices, que lo seamos diario y lo especial va a ser el momento y que lo seamos con todos
Wondering why my mood swing spectrum is always between being chaotic and being melancholic…
I long for the future
There’s so many things that I hope will work out for the best
And I wish my heart will be safe,
I can’t wait for the day
when I won’t turn my head when someone’s eyes look like yours
when every quote I read makes my hand carve a new piece,
a new letter,
to bleed again about the same things
When I woke up and opened my curtains, there was the rising sun
But now there’s you
I can’t forget your location, and your smell
Your birthday or you cat’s name
And I wonder if you ever wish I were there.
You can’t feel the same because you don’t know me like I know you
You don’t know where I rest, where I breathe
You don’t recall what I used to be like
I changed my perfume, and I cut my hair,
and how I wish I could get some feelings out, they’ve always been there
My life has kind of stopped, just like a bad joke
and i don’t think it can go back to what it used to be.
Maybe the past is better left alone, you don’t pour salt on what hurts
I should stop reminiscing about what was, what is and idealizing what will be
but what is the fun of being in the present? Things can get so boring, so predictable
I’ve always been afraid to be known.
Maybe someday I’ll learn how to move on, and how to get over old feelings, and maybe I can let my past to rest
I love changes, yet I’m afraid I won’t recognize myself.
