Samira Close - Madrugada
Lost to the sounds in my head, lost to the feelings in my heart, I ask myself how much longer will it last. Will I be standing still as I have all these years, until I finally find peace again? How many times must I get up as I’m falling and falling apart over and over again.
I hear your voice taking me back to reality, while I walk over a dream land that never existed, wishing for a moment that now I know there is only in my imagination. As I wake up suddenly from this illusion, I realize that there is only the truth, we are free to evade the effort of thinking, to reject reason, but we are not free to avoid the penalty of the abyss that we refuse to see.
And as I walk through the abyss, I see myself surrendering to all these feelings taking over me. I can’t find a way to understand them, the sound is too loud, the fog is too heavy. I open my arms and throw myself into the unknown, cause I don’t know what else I could do. And maybe going to the unknown, I finally understand what it means.
Falling into the darkness of the abyss, I see a gaze looking back at me, judging me, watching me. Maybe now I’m doomed to my choices, my end is near and nothing else can save me anymore. I can’t hear you now, I just feel a gentle breeze from the fall, taking me, embracing me.
The silence is tempting, like a siren singing to my ears, like a gorgon's eye that I can’t stop to look at. I know now that what is, is, and from this irreducible bedrock principle, there is only the truth that nothing lasts forever and we are all doomed to the same fate. Death, our final destination. Let it take me. Away. Forever.
