The Fire That Didn't Burn Me

"A Journey of Solitude, Art, and Unshaken Freedom"

I still laugh and talk to the people who tried to set me on fire...

They don't know...

I know they lit the match

Then, today, and tomorrow...

I didn't have a fight or an aria with them

I haven't had much desire to board ships since then

That's why I tried to cross the sea on a boat

Even today, I am a man who tries to live in my own freedom and solitude, making art.

I know that many people don't like me...

So this is my way

Because I am someone who is trying to find myself

I don't want to find out about others

The few who know me know about me

I breathe with more struggle in life...

That's why I fight to enjoy life until my last breath...

I will not go to put out the fire of humans who are trying to burn...

Nature puts it out when necessary...

I am a person who tolerates everything with indifference...

Quench... Quench... Enjoy...

Blessings of nature!
