Hiya ^^

I'm not a good writer, but I wanted to share these few lines I've been writing. They are mainly my story and the way I felt my whole life, but I think they can also be applied to many of us here.

(the original was in portuguese, but I've tried to translate it)...


The flight

Distorted and blurred
It wasn't my image reflected on the mirror
Hidden behind a mask
My eyes were overflowing an immensity of sorrow
Without perspective
Without expectative
Life was just another day

I faked forgetting myself
I buried myself and no one cried for me
Just an empty shell
A meaningless life
Day after day

One day I woke up
Feeling a spur of life reaching my soul
And I screamed with all my strength
Claiming for freedom

The weight of my sorrow cracked my shell
From inside out
The path was open
I left my lonely exile
And I flew to my life as it should have been

SO BEAUTIFUL ... It just made me cry a little
We are waiting for more

Beautiful poem, Natalia. Very good at expressing your feelings.

That was perfect explanation of so many people I've seen in my life. Good or not, you've got talent. And that means something at least to me.

^^

Thank you everyone!

I have a few more, I'll see if I can translate and post them here

Today I decided to write a new poem. Again, just some words reflecting things I feel.

Unforgiven

The eternal passing of hours
never tires of reminding us
that the before glittering gold
can become dull and worn,
hidden behind a layer of dust.

The lost youth,
The ignored love,
The unpaid look
and the embrace denied
Today disturb my mind.

There is no return.
Time does not forgive
and does not let us forget.
Throughout our existence it will remember us
what we regret
and what we have lost

But today I see
that the constant ringing of the clock
is also a companion,
Always trying to warn us:
Do not let a layer of dust settle on your mind.
Remember that the days to come
Are still being written.
So grab a pen and a sheet of paper,
and create your future.

  God , Natalia

  Your writings really get me in a special mood . I feel like crying because I regret so many things , yet I feel hopeful and motivated too . You are very talented and your writings are both artistic and true .
  Keep them coming

Thanks Claudia ^^

A few people told me I have some talent, but I just write things that come in my mind when I am reflecting upon my past and future...I feel a lot better when I can write =)

I feel very depressed sometimes and I regret many things too, but I hope to learn from my mistakes and go on, trying to make my new life as it should have been, as it is written in my soul...and this is what makes me go forward. I know that the rocks that are thrown in our way are there just for us to learn how to overcome them and grow stronger.
