I am determined to win

This is the poison of surrender.

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

I cried until a day I don't know cried

And gave me a sleeping pill to calm down and sleep

And when I woke up I was sad about my condition

Because I was and still am miserable

And winter rained tears of the eye as a scene

And when my eyes teared up it said to me: You are a teacher

Oh rain don't leave me in a dark place

And always be with me like a singing bird

And don't travel like a lover who left and I hated him

And I didn't know that longing had satiated me with it

Because fear grew beside me and became a refuge

Because I took a dose of the poison of a surrendered human being

And I didn't know that I became surrendered to death

The grave is my refuge and if I escape I am a lover

For life, if its virtues are many, I am obligated

To leave, oh bird, sing with a tune and be a singer

Because I have no energy to slaughter sadness, so I become a criminal

So sadness took control of me, so I became as if I was forced to it

I endured the sighs in my life as a mass Dark

But as soon as you stare into my eyes, I become like a mine?

What meanings have withered, so the flower has become my honor

Like a fire that spread in dry wood, so it became lava for me

So poetry, my friend, is an inspiration, if it comes, you are an inspiration

And if it goes away, you are insignificant, as if you were defeated before?

If my letters are shaped by darkness for me, then the light of the sun understands

But if the pen betrays me, then with it I become as if I am speaking?

If charms call my wounds, then sadness burns, speaking

But if they trample and my blood flows, were they my teachers?

I will not cry, even if life becomes a divided body

If they exhaust me with their sorrows, will you stand firm in victory?
