A Letter To Fear

You to whom I shall surrender Why would you gift me with chaos? And Make me swim in rivers that have gone dry I found myself collecting dead roses Out of graves that no one visits anymore How far can you go? To feed me lyrics of old songs For my heart to beat music And I shall wait for the rain For the storms, inside of me To drive in the most anticipated spring I do not wish for my soul to be yours I am too small, yet you fill me with emptiness My verses are too vain My poetry is nostalgia My aim remains unfound And you, you keep opening letters coming to the wrong address Stealing trees I have spent years planting You to whom I dedicate my weakness Do you not wish to free me from your chains? For They are too heavy I can feel my abolition Be gone, and grant me peace All I want is to feel each season alone You see, my ambition is not that big I just want to see my seeds grow Release me, I beg you There is no place for me to hide Leave me, for I seek to be complete I no longer serve as your playground Time have built me with strong bricks To save me from earthquakes and hurricanes But my intention is not to be saved I do not aspire to stand against nature I do not wish to fight wars I have not caused So would you just leave me? I shall be responsible of my own drowning I shall witness my own destruction Just let me heal my own soul Let me hide my heart in libraries Because you see, I do not wish to be found I distributed my feelings in books For one day I shall find me.
