you have no right
Palabras, palabras, que vienen, que van. Déjame hablar, de una vez, déjame decir algo sin que tus palabras hieran las mías con un golpe en la cabeza como un hacha al tronco viejo. Abro la boca y me atacas con tu orgullo y no soy y no valgo y tú tienes la razón. Y yo no digo nada. No digo nada porque nunca he sabido pelear. Trato de hablar y me atacas. Que no diga esto porque no es verdad. Déjame hablar. Créeme, por favor, créeme. Lo único que tengo son mis palabras; no las tires por el suelo como migas de pan. Mientras yo sigo tratando de salir de aquí. Escabulléndome entre el montón, buscando el celeste que se asoma entre las sombras. No me hagas caer, por favor. Déjame seguir caminando entre la gente. Déjame seguir andando. Déjame hablar, por favor, déjame hablar. Porque quiero seguir sonriendo, y no necesito excusas para tirarme al suelo una vez más.

seriously, stop it.
I expect too much –of myself and of others. Therefore I live in constant disappointment.
It hurts.

qu'est-ce que je peut faire ?
Quelquefois… je sens que ça ne va jamais finir.
Sans comprendre
Sans avoir une solution
Sans savoir si ça va passer.
Des personnes me déçoivent
Parce que je pense trop d’eux
Une et autre fois je fais le même erreur
Et je n’apprends jamais.
Quelquefois… je suis trop fatiguée pour vivre
Mais il y a toujours quelque chose qui m’aide à suivre
Une petite chose qui m’arrête
Chaque fois que mes pensées perdent le contrôle.
Une et autre fois je tombe
Parce que je suis humain et nous tombons toujours
J’ai mal partout et il n’y a pas de solution
Alors je fais la chose de laquelle j’essaie de m’éloigner.
C’est un problème ; c’est mon problème.
J’ai peur d’être toute ma vie comme ça.
J’ai peur de ne trouver pas la fin à cette maladie
…et j’ai peur de être moi même la fin.

Paper Smiles
Cada mañana se viste de blanco, se coloca una sonrisa, y sale a vivir. Una media década atrás, alguien le dijo que estaba muy seria. Se debía nada más que a la hora de la noche y al hecho de que tenía sueño, pero ese amigo la hizo reír, y con un pequeño marcador rojo dibujó una sonrisa en un papel y se la pegó sobre los labios. El resto de la noche siguieron hablando así, con su sonrisa dibujada cubriendo el sueño que la envolvía.
Ahora, unos cuatro o cinco años después, descubre esa sonrisa de papel escondida entre recuerdos, y se la pone frente al espejo. Los años han dejado sus huellas en la piel, y hace tiempo que no se ha visto sonreír. Ese pequeño papel que aún refleja una felicidad que no existía, la hace recapacitar.
Hace tiempo que no sonríes. Llevas una sonrisa de papel pegada en los labios, porque la tuya se ha perdido con el tiempo. El mundo te la robó y ahora nadie te la quiere devolver.

In God's Hands.
People disappoint each other all the time. We are human, full of flaws, full of sin, prone to be tempted. In fact, we are being continually tempted. We fall into evil and selfishness and we are constantly letting down those we love and those who love us. At the same time, our hearts are breaking; they are being broken because we neglect them and leave them in the worst possible place: people's hands. If we gave our hearts to God we wouldn't be in so much pain. God has never made me cry, He has never neglected me or yelled at me, He has never been too busy for me, and He has certainly never disappointed me. My heart is in God's hands now. If anyone wants to hold it, they have to ask God for it. I trust God's judgement infinitely more than I trust my own. He can scare away the stupid and careless people, and He'll know which mortal is responsible enough to carry it for a while.

Sweaters, jackets, gloves... it's cold.
There's a butterfly in the room
Beautiful colors; fresh wind brought her in.
She flies around and fills this empty room with life.
I watch her as she slowly folds her wings
And lands on the cold white floor.
There she stays, as the clock ticks time away...
Tic toc tic toc tic toc
Tic toc tic toc tic toc
I try to tell her to go away
This room is cold and dark
Her colors will soon start to fade...
But alone she sits, waiting for something more.
A gentle breeze to fly her out?
No, at this time of night the air is calm
Too calm, in fact, for anything or anyone to get you out.
Leave, stop, it's still time...
I focus my attention on something else
Time ticks away fast, faster, fastest.
The butterfly has not left the room.
Is it just me or are her colors going black?
I'm alone in the room.
It's a cold, dark room.

A Battle Worth Fighting
I can do this. Day 100 is right around the corner.
How can I miss it?
I can do this. That's what I keep telling myself.
I can do this. Nothing's going to bring me down.
Not even the silence.
It won't bring me down.
Because I am strong.
My nerves are failing,
but I am strong.
And God is all-powerful.
Through Him, I can do this.

People are stupid
A few wrong words,
Some unkindly remarks,
Voice raised loud.
A brisk walk down the stairs,
Then turns off the light.
A sweet innocent reply,
more unkindly remarks.
Hurting and harsh,
a small voice is silenced.
Something feels tempting...
A thought is born, another one killed...
Temptation; shot, reborn, then smashed.
Don't let anyone get hurt.
Unsuspecting,
another loud noise awakens the soul.
Shivers, a chill, salt water in eyes,
a bad thought seems pleasant...
Temptation rekindled;
decision now made!
Past voices are haunting,
visiting the mind like memorized lines...
Oh, that they were.
Memorized, almost.
Here they come again.
Haunting, screaming, mocking.
How sad, what a pity,
but the mind wanders off.
As if that wasn't enough,
again a scolding occurs.
What is this?
Oh voices, don't mock,
it's been enough for tonight.
Pathetic and prideful,
and sometimes it burns.
