Topic: my life is a foreign film

where I've been
not distant but close enough
to the steps of my home
the world is different to me
for the first time you are not
part of my daily memories
What I knew is gone
What I know now is what I need to
slowly adapt
I'm not inside the life where I knew
where everything went

I am confide in the liberation
and the surprises of these days to come
bright eyes and sullen thoughts
satisfied that I don't understand a word
I walk to the edge, to the sides
and come back to the middle in kneel
and force myself to the sunrise
scratchy lines, film of black and white
girls with mascara in their eyes
men with a notorious, pristine outlook
on the way they will manipulate

and I
and I grew up from the ashes
of every troubling, stupid idea
that pushed me down and led me to doubt
I had you then and I couldn't appreciate it
just because I knew it would eventually
end

no need for subtitles
I became human this is the part
where you see sorrow and the violins begin to play
catches the fading reflections in the broken mirrors
and walk slowly through the corridor holding onto
the wall

this is where you see the outside world
with everything kind of hazy and a sun beam
pointing down in the middle of the vineyard
you swear you were in Paris but this is in fact
the illusion your mind is setting
this is where you discover the moment that
has been wrapped up in little fragments of
each passing romantic, platonic, chaotic moment
you ever had in the past.

this is when you flashbacks of every mood
coming back and it solves all those what if's
and could had been's to a solid realization
that life is a foreign film.
