Os Portoes Da Mudanca So Podem Ser Abertos De Dentro Para Fora

Os portões da mudança só podem ser abertos de dentro para fora. The gates of change can only be opened from the inside out. I went inside of what they call a heart. The dull twilight was covering the jail, The labyrinth of corridors for dwarfs.. I had to bend my back to pass tunnel. I saw the hall all stuffed with machines With walls so stained with not drying blood That hardly could reflect the external screams. Just sending out an unclear thud. The cell was tight.. It had all the comfort Of habit.. Still the door was locked, The window had grille, view was distorted All what I saw was looking like bad joke.. The Victim.. - I refused believe in what I saw.. – .. was free! - Not shackled with a chain, No irons held him, fancy fetters though On heavy head supporting horror feigned. Whomever was ‘creator of the jail The principle of how to open a door Was plain and simple such as always they’ll ‘So podem ser abertos d’dento para fora’.

Annoying that you cannot use 'special characters' in the title of poems, isn't it? :) This is a antastic metaphor. And yeah, those gates can only be opened from the inside. That line is incredible... Wish I had written it :)

Yes, especially when the title is actually a quote and I have to use those 'special characters" :) But.. I wish I never had to write any of the lines..
