SELF TALK

We have doubts today for the things we are looking for

perhaps they might have taken us for more than fifteen years

we do not want to break off for a ten thousand times

our fate happens to be the road we took yesterday

these long days testing those short days

our big decision must be something different

this world does not resemble I found myself in

nor does the life you are striving for seem to be right

what made us reversed should be aware of the wrong doing

I’d say it is good to know that you got it

 

Even they are the same, no rhetoric is the same

denotation indicates the meaning squeezed in its reality

see what is said this way or that way

let us stretch out to the reason challenging what is changing

your last destination is not the right one

nor is the byroad I am stuck open

let us not lose sight of the beauty again

I’d say the best thing to do is to try the dreams

 

Whatever I do has a sad and touching side

a perfect love does not build a perfect life

if only another equivalent would replace it

 

I would not hesitate to tell the rain that it is the rain

well then what would I call if getting wet means stupidity

I’d say, to get wet seems to be good anyway
