Breath of Life
who am i? I ask myself,
And I will never be able to answer...
Because I myself do not know who I am!
They say I'm tender, romantic and kind.
But how long am I going to live with people labeling me with such sweet words?
Life surprises us and changes us through what we hear and suffer.
Are these gifts I have received all deserved?
I would love for them to stay forever, if only for a while,
Stored in my dreams... in my imagination.
How many doubts often torment me!
How many questions! “What I am, what I did, what I could have done”.
Could I be so different?
What I've always been, I've forgotten.
It's not worth remembering and even if you wanted to, you couldn't.
For forgetting it would cease to live, it would no longer exist... it would cease to be.
My face could only be seen in the shadow reflected in the mirror.
Mirror where it reflects my past, my present,
And inevitably... the end of my existence.
Sleepy every day awake, with the same hope of discovering myself.
Continuing with my gaze fixed on the mirror,
With my tired face, I think about life and another day that arrives.
With this immense desire to discover myself that always grows,
I feel the same doubt, which pertinently comes to my thought.
“Who am I?... Who am I?”...
Who is this person I'm looking for looking like a dream?
Every minute, hour, I think I've found it, but it was all in vain...
WHO AM I?...
WHO AM I?...
WHO AM I?...

Breath of Life That's how I stayed... tied on top of suitcases, until the moment we got on the plane to start our trip to Rio de Janeiro. My mother, as always, took great care of me, and always looked after me so that I wouldn't fall. I had already noticed that his...
INSOMNIA NIGHTS
Breath of Life Sleepless nights thinking about life, Nights with ghosts dominating my mind. Whole sleepless nights I spend, I feel the dawn of another day coming. Why this great anguish and these nights of tears In a heart so full of life? My thoughts are foolish,...
IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY
Breath of Life If you want to be happy Try to be like the deaf who don't hear, The blind who don't see, So that you don't hear and don't see what makes you suffer. If you want to be happy... Try not to remember moments from the distant past, Moments that never come...
WAITING FOR DAWN
Breath of Life Long were the nights of aloneness,Long were the nights of sorrow and pain.Nights having for companion only worrying thoughts,Draining from me my energy… my dreams. Too much energy of my body was gone from this distress,Too many hours of my life are...
ANOTHER DOLL???
Breath of Life But what can I do? I always thought that I would be the only one who could replace the emptiness that my mother felt when her Três Marias, as she called her three daughters Teresa Maria, Claudia Maria and Paula Maria, got married, as well as her son...
