In the depths of the sea lie hidden secrets
In the depths of the sea lie hidden secrets,
Untold stories, where my mind reigns,
There, where stars compete in heights,
I seek answers, lost in abysses and lights.
Stop, traveler, from the desperate search,
No longer chase mysteries with a trembling heart,
No longer count the days until the earth stops,
For the truth you seek is found within yourself.
There are secrets flowing through my veins,
Untold stories, where my thoughts sift,
Silent screams you have never heard,
I wear a mask you never learned.
I am not a monster, nor a villain,
Just a man broken within,
Sometimes, to live a little longer,
I take refuge in the persona you think you know.
What you try to write will never be sketched,
For society does not heed the cry of the marginalized.
You think you sculpt like the Greeks,
But when the art is the artist,
They will lift their sharpest weapon and scrape away the wonders,
They will reshape your words to fit their maneuvers,
And you will remain, searching, searching, in an endless longing.
Stop, traveler, look within yourself,
There lie the divine answers,
In the depths of the sea and the heights of the stars,
Only the shadows of your eternal soul are reflected.
