My shadow was there for a long time.

Sorrows

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

My shadow has been living in the dark for a long time

It didn't change its place

Not even reproached

the heart for forgetting

But it left it hostile to peace

And imposed sorrows on me

Until I surrendered

And the lava of the volcano spread

In my body and caused diseases

And my determination faded like a cloud

And I began to pray against the destructive universe

Which tastes the taste of suffering like basil

Oh nightmare that passed before dreams came

The universe has not yet reached balance

But refused to sleep

In the midst of the chaos of melodies

The birds in it refused to sing the melodies

Dragged me by the hand to face the aggression

I hope I can eliminate it and that division

Before my being closes in on me like walls

And I become a target for the mockery of diseases

Oh my shadow: Help me and be with me

For you are the dark night that gave me nightmares
