Missing Shadow, Broken Mirror

If we repeat something again and again and again

It's value decreases. swallow the truth with sugar coat, it seeps into the body

radiating it the poison, hollowed every bone. crushing every cell to ashes.

I was told that I am not good I am not good I am not good

I believed. I buried my youth in a cascade

Swallowed my past life, burnt my veiling dreams

If we repeat something again and again and again

We start believing it's true.

I was told to do what others do. I did. I did. Seriously I did?

I believed. Evacuated my castle, crushing the paper boats

Tore the sweater I weaved

If we repeat something again and again and again

It affects your mind, hostage of glass chamber of floating restrictions you don't know who imposed, you are compelled to follow. Compromising something for no one.

I was told that differences existed from birth

I wasn't born with my thoughts. You shaped the pot, made it half hollow.

When consciousness entered there, it was unnourished, scattered, but it was imperative. Creativity peeped rose from its grave. I tried to light a match in the rain, it didn't work. Ambitious creativity survived, incarnation came alive

If we repeat something again and again and again

It changes our lives. Mind your words.

I collected the shattered glasses, unlocked my castle, threw away the veil, built paper boats, wove my sweater.

And now I don't believe what whispers birds tell, I should follow the screams of my heart

Again and again and again

I won't repeat.
