Indie poem

Saiam, saiam
Caiam na armadilha
Eu caí no som
Eu mergulhei num mar
e saí enrugado,
q  ue   b ra  d    o

E o vento que me corta
Que me esfria, não acalma
Boto aqui palavras
Na falta do braço que me embala

temtantovazioparasepreencher
quenãovaleapenapravocê

Isto é longo demais
Pra se colocar num cartão
Vou publicar
Nos meus olhos, em vão

miss u late hours again
ssim-u-late hours again

Wandering away

It’s annoying how much I change over time. Change takes place inevitably when I’m alone. Loneliness is uncomfortable, but solitude is intrinsic to my being. It’s not a matter of “if you leave me alone, I’ll change.” It is due no matter what. I need solitude and I’ll have it whenever I need it. I can easily shut myself from the outside world wherever I am, in order to wander in the world of my thoughts. I have come to realize that people do not come and go into my life. It is I that part from them, because of my taking different paths. ‘Tis the way it has been with everyone who’s become somehow dear and close to me. I had a selfish, misled opinion that other people did not care enough about me to stay close, but now I see how hard it is to stay close to a nonstop nomad. How can one stay close to a person one can’t even find (not in geographical terms, but in terms of state of spirit and mind)? So there it is, this is why I can’t hold on to people; they’re like sand in my hands--or maybe...

Poucas pessoas parecem concordar comigo em muitos, muitos aspectos. Mas isso realmente não é importante: ninguém é obrigado a concordar. Mas a sensação de "lutar contra a corrente" é inevitável. Acontece que eu não tenho idade (comportamental) para lutar contra a corrente. Eu vou simplesmente aceitar a diferença e desistir de convencer. Mantendo o meu ponto de vista, claro. Porque eu já tenho idade suficiente para ter minhas próprias idéias e opiniões. Essa sensação de não-convergência de idéias com quase ninguém é o mais perto que há, psicologicamente falando, de solidão.

Are you ready?

– Are you ready for work? It was a new day in the old life. He began to reach for his clothes, unmotivated as usual, but not giving that feeling much thought. It was merely his old depression kicking in, nothing to overreact for. Depression came and went like the seasons. Perhaps only in more frequent fits, but still, a seasonal thing. – Are you ready for work? His mind was driven by the sole need to keep on. Wounded flesh could not stop this man. Not even a broken bone was enough to interrupt him. His environment built very well the urge to produce regardless of outside conditions. Might I add, inside conditions as well. – You need to wake up, chop-chop. – I think I have broken spirit. – No, you haven't. – What explains this lack of motivation? – You are lazy, it's all. – I am not... Need I go today? – You'd better. – I am not my usual self. – My dear, you have no self. His mind took control of that particular situation, thwarting any hopes of change in that particular mor...
