POESIA

“I have always said yes for many years. After all, I was just a dim light from a match that anyone could switch off.

After all, I was just a shaky stick that anyone could break. After all, I was just a shuddering fountain that anyone could close. After all, I was just a timorous bird that anyone could trap. After all, I was just a withered flower that anyone could cut. After all, I was only a mute cry in the middle of a deserted forest that anyone could mock. After all, I was just a green blade of grass that anyone could trample. After all, I was just a shattered drawing that anyone could erase. After all, I was just a shy smile that anyone could demean. After all, I was only a trembling mouth that anyone could silence. After all, I was just a hesitant head that anyone could lower. After all, I was just a frightened body that anyone could hit. Thus, I bravely turned my back to regain my dignity, I entered my empty soul and filled it with all NO that had been denied me.”
