Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held
Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held,
I was born to be read once and never to be opened again.
To be glanced at in passing, but never the one who turns heads.
To be a writer and never the one written about.
To immortalize the beauty I find in others,
But only to fall under the shadows of my own mortality.
Perhaps the simplicity of my existence is what brings comfort to the main character.
To become a poet and never an imperishable poem.
Capturing words from a glance as they pass by me,
To catch the hooks under the bright sunlight.
Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held,
I was born only to be read once and never to be opened again.
And somewhere in the chaos,
I learned to live with grace.
In a world of shadows and lights, where stars fade and are reborn,
I stand at the edge of time, a poet draped in melancholy.
The barricades of my life, invisible walls, have held me in place,
I was born to be read once, a book lost in dust and silence.
Glanced at in passing, but never noticed, a shadow among lights,
In a world of turned heads, I remain unseen, a writer of silence.
There are no writings about me, for my words are for others,
The beauty I find, I immortalize in them, but I remain ephemeral.
The simplicity of my existence, a refuge for the heroes of my stories,
I am the poet, but never the immortal poem,
Words pass by me, I catch them, enclosing them in verses,
Sunlight envelops them, but I remain in the shadows.
Perhaps among all the barricades I could have held,
I was born to be read once and never to be opened again.
And somewhere in the chaos of life,
I learned to live with grace, a melancholic poet draped in metaphors.
In a world full of noise, I listen to the silences,
Finding my peace in the chaos, beauty in the ephemeral.
And perhaps, among all the barricades,
I am just a poet, read once and forgotten forever.
