Canā€™t stop
Is thereā€™s something wrong?
Something wrong with me?
Because I canā€™t feel fulfilled
I canā€™t stop to breathe
I need to achieve and achieve
I need to always go beyond
Beyond everyone else
Because if Iā€™m not at the top
Why bother at all?
Thatā€™s why I canā€™t stop
I canā€™t stop to breathe
To collect what I broke to complete
To fill my lungs and exhale
To rest my head in your chest
I not know how to rest
Because to rest means to fail
Fail to achieve
Fail to conceive
Fail to be who I couldā€™ve been
If I only worked a little more
If I only slept a little less
If only I was a lot lot different than the rest
If only I loved myself

My father, my mother and I
My father was not the nice guy
My mother was always fighting back
My grandparents never kept a lie
But my cousins were forever the favorite ones
I am an only child
The result of many, many fights
Iā€™m only my parentsā€™ mask
Because they donā€™t want to see each otherā€™s eyes
My father was always so uptight
My mother was too tired to fight
My aunts never let me down
But I was always watching others live their lives
I am an only child
The result of ā€œGodā€™s plansā€
Iā€™m only the least favorite child
Because they would rather change the plans
My father was never right
My mother was sleeping in the couch
My uncle gave me all I had
But I always craved my parentsā€™ pride
I am an only child
The result of that one night
Iā€™m only what they got
Because Iā€™m still living their pretentious lies
My father had never cried
But that one night
I heard him bawl
Making me realize heā€™s just human
And heā€™s almost everything I got
My mother had always a smile
But when she got mad
I was always terrified
That her words were like knives
And were going to stab me a thousand and one times
I am an only child
Who fought their way to their parentsā€™ hearts
Because I was supposed to fix what they had
But I came to this world already cracked
I came to this world with a broken heart
My father did what he could
My mother did what she could
I did what I could
We did what we could
And yet we all hurt more than we should

Iā€™ll always take to little, Iā€™ll always take too much
Iā€™m so scared to open up
That when I do
I fall
Completely
Painfully
And ridiculously
When I do I just can cry
Rivers and rivers of liquid war
Year and years of holding it back
Tears and tears finally come out
But I cannot drop just one tear
They always come out full of fear
All together like sisters
They come out limitlessly
And when I feel like someone cares
I canā€™t help it
But to break
Break down into pieces
For the realization of my feelings
For the recognition of my existence
I think of myself as the tasteless blank
As a simple and invisible part
Of the endless novel that everyone seems to write.
I feel so average to even be noticed
Too small and too little to deserve feeling something
But when others look at me
It feels like drowning myself to sleep
I feel like Iā€™m taking too much
Like Iā€™m a thief of someone elseā€™s turn
Like Iā€™m living the wrong time
Like I take too much from peopleā€™s life
And hate to feel that way
Like my existence is a burden
Like I take too much space.
So if you ever cared about me
I you ever loved me
Just pretend that you donā€™t
Like we are not nearly as close
I beg you with my life
Please pretend Iā€™m not human
Pretend Iā€™m nothing more than a mere act,
Like Iā€™m nothing worth watching for too much time
Act like I canā€™t feel
Act like you donā€™t care
Donā€™t listen to how I feel
So I can blame you on my misery
Because is easier to blame
Itā€™s easier to hide
Itā€™s easier to disappear
Than to admit, for once, that I am the guilty one
So please leave me to my pain,
Leave me to my monsters
Leave me to my worst self
So I can silently drift away

Motherless motherhood
I shall not cry the loss of a mother
A mother who was not meant for me
The mother who was born for motherhood
Had the only child who was meant to be free
The mother who was meant to be loved
Had the only child filled with rage
The mother who was meant to be sweet
Had the only child with bitter teeth
The mother who was meant to be a mother
Had the only child meant to be lonely
The mother who craved a child
Prayed so hard
That she got herself a demon with half a heart
The mother who craved to be a mother
The one who loved like no other
Got herself a helpless burden
The mother who was meant for someone else
Is still craving endless love
The love that from me, she never got
The mother who was meant for someone else
Is crying for her missing child
For the one she was supposed to have
And while her tears roll down
Every once in a while
She reminds me Iā€™m not her child
So I regret being the unlucky one
Who was born to be the motherless brat

Too young
Im too young
To have such bad nightmares
Im too young
To have such deep scars
I should be playing
Not aching
I should be dancing
Not crying
I should be young
And not living alone
Im too young
To hate my parents
Im too young
To be without them
Im too young
To be myself
Im too young
To know who am I yet
Im supposed to be living
Not wishing I would stop breathing
Im supposed to be free
Not tied to the family tree
Im supposed to live the golden years
Not trapped within plastic feelings
Im too young
To have such bad nightmares
Im too young
To have such deep scars
Im too young
To be what I am

I donā€™t know how to write
I donā€™t know how to write
I just know how to organize
Words so they create pretty sounds
I know only meaningless verses
Countless letters that make poetry senseless
No matter how much I try
I just canā€™t write
Because people learned to write
About what they found at the bottom of their hearts
But the only thing I could look at
When I searched my bottomless bag
Was too horrible to take out
It was dark and dirty
Covered on peopleā€™s disgusting pity
Very much tired of just existing
And no, it was not my soul
Or my most private secret
It was something a little bit more ecliptic
And no matter what I tried
I just couldnā€™t write
Because i couldnā€™t understand
What i was looking at
Turns out it was me
The monstrosity that tried to be free
But it was not the girl they usually see
It was the genderless monster that took my name
The horrible being that faced my fate
The unspeakable spirit that consumed my hope
It was not something nor someone
It was just it
Something trying to find peace
And while I tried to word
Whatever it was that I saw
I created a war
Between words and my mind
There was were I discovered
Thereā€™s no talent if we lack a story
Thereā€™s no poetry if we donā€™t understand the monster
And I donā€™t know how to write
I know how to properly place words
So they create infinite wounds
With meaningless quotes
And very random signs of love

I need to know
I need to know
Where you come from
And why you make me feel so numb
I need to know
Why you look at me
Like Iā€™m an ultimate master piece,
Like Iā€™m more than a human being
I need to know
How you got me into this mess.
How you made me look away
When I met you gaze
And why do you want me to stay
I need to know
If you really mean your words
If you are willing to let me go,
If I ever hurt you in a way I canā€™t avoid

I wish
I wish I didnā€™t had to hide.
I wish my colors I could show with pride,
I wish being myself wasnā€™t a crime,
Sometimes I even wish I wasnā€™t who I am.
I wish I wasnā€™t scared of my mom.
I wish she wouldnā€™t laugh at every homophobic joke.
I wish she could look at me in the eyes,
I wish she stopped saying I will burn when I die,
I wish she stoped hating who I am,
And I wish she knew she makes me hate who I am.
I wish I wasnā€™t scared of my dad.
I wish he stopped calling gay people fags,
I wish he would talk to me for a while.
I wish he stopped asking why I donā€™t go to mass,
I wish he wouldnā€™t preach me back into his life.
I wish he stopped hating who I am,
And I wish he knew he makes me hate who I am.
I wish I wasnā€™t scared of myself.
I wish I wasnā€™t terrified of what I dream,
I wish I was what they wanted me to be,
I wish I didnā€™t love her like I do,
I think that would make them love me too.

You narcissistic and idiotic man
I try and I try,
but you never look at me like youā€™re proud.
I cry all the time,
but you never ask me why.
I work all night just to be the one,
Who makes you smile every once in a while.
But turns out I canā€™t,
I canā€™t be the one
who you think about when feeling proud,
I canā€™t be the one,
Who you smile at in the middle of a crowd,
I canā€™t be the one,
Who you stay with and hug all night
I just canā€™t be the one,
Who you love no matter what
Because you love was just a lie.
An illusion I created,
To keep me alive.
And now I discover, finally
That the problem was not me
And my validation journey.
After years of pain and cries for help,
I come to realize
It was not me who failed to make you proud,
It was just you, and your selfish ass.
You narcissistic and idiotic man,
You made me the monstrosity that today I am,
You made me the unlovable wreck that lives in a lie,
You made me hate everyone who was better than I was,
You made me so insecure I thought I needed you in my life.
You ruined me in every way you could find,
And I deeply hate you for that.

Surrounded
When Iā€™m surrounded
My mind wonā€™t wander
About what will happen
When Iā€™m without them
But when Iā€™m alone
My brain wonā€™t shut up
Telling Iā€™m not enough
Even thought I work too much
Just to please them more
When Iā€™m surrounded
Im occupied
Iā€™m always busy trying to hide
All the tears that later come out
But when Iā€™m alone
I focus too much
In all my failures
And mistakes all along
Because it doesnā€™t matter
If Iā€™m dying
What itā€™s important is to not stop smiling
When Iā€™m surrounded
Iā€™m not myself
But I find it better to lie to them
Than disappoint them with what I became

Tell me
Iā€™m tired,
And I donā€™t know why.
My dreams seem to real
And my reality a dream.
Things are confusing since you left,
My mom says I just need time
But what I need is your presence.
Why? Why you left?
Was my laugh too loud?
Or my face too round?
Tell me what I did, that wasnā€™t allowed.
Look at me again
And tell me how I failed,
Tell me what I did that made you go away.
Iā€™m not asking you to stay,
I just want to know my past mistakes
So I donā€™t do the same
When I fall in love again

Not that kind
Everybody saw the love in my eyes,
But they also noticed the cold in you heart.
They all knew that I was mad for you,
The only oblivious was you.
It breaks my heart to think you never liked me back.
And every time I see you I get the same flashback,
The moment you shattered my heart,
The day you pulled me apart,
The minute you left me behind,
The second you looked at me for what I really was.
I try but I canā€™t forget,
The words you told me when i confessed myself,
ā€œDonā€™t humiliate yourselfā€ you said,
ā€œI donā€™t care about you in that wayā€,
ā€œI donā€™t love youā€ you declaimed,
ā€œIā€™m not that kind of girlā€
Iā€™m sorry if I got you wrong,
I was just looking for love.
Iā€™m sorry if I ruined what we had,
I just thought you loved me back.

The one
The friend, the mate
The classmate, the comrade.
The sidekick of your romance,
The one wishing to hold hands.
The one who loses the most.
The one who sacrifices friendship and love,
Just to satisfy a stupid crush.
The one whoā€™s never gonna be enough
To be deserving of your love,
But still tries to gain it all
Even if it destroys them the most.
The one who loves you the bulk,
Is the one youā€™ll never adore.
Letā€™s admit it, shall we?
Youā€™ll never feel like I feel,
Youā€™ll never find me lovely.
Our story was not meant to end
With a loverā€™s embrace,
But with a tragic poet,
Writing about the dreadful story.

Untitled 2
Goodbyes were said under the table,
Feelings were hide in the head,
Tears were drunk during dinner,
And my broken heart was too much to repair.

Not meant
She made me realize how wrong I was,
About who I thought I was
And she made me see
Who I was supposed to be
She opened my eyes with her beautiful smile,
And made me feel so right.
Her hands taught me it was ok to be who I was
And she made me be proud to be what I was
She made me see it was ok to love,
Who my heart told me so.
And this makes it sound like we were in love,
But turns out that for her, I was not enough.
She taught me so many things,
About loving her and loving me,
And one of them was that I was supposed to love her with my whole heart ,
But she was not meant to love me back.

I hate
I hate that you easily make me laugh,
I hate the way you complain every time I cry,
I hate that you mock me in your insights,
I hate that you see my life like a rag.
I hate how you trick me into your arms,
I hate that you distance me from what I like,
I hate who am I when you are around,
I hate to see myself in your eyes.
I hate that you think Iā€™m a disgrace,
I hate to see you get along with my friends,
I hate that people like you as much as I do,
I hate that they donā€™t hate you as they should.
I hate that you make me feel alive,
I hate that you make me wanna die,
I hate that Iā€™m not you little shiny star,
I hate that someone else makes you smile.
I hate that I donā€™t,
That I donā€™t hate you,
Not even in the minimum,
In fact, I hate that I love you with my entire heart and soul
