Broken Dreams

Imposing our truth on the soul of another,
To protect, to guide, to care or to love.
At least that's what we want to believe;
In reality, we are just ignorant cowards.
Why did you so cruelly destroy my dreams?
You were a part of them as well, you know
A very important one, mysterious, intense.
Yet, it was still unknown, unready to emerge.
You wanted to play games with my raw wildness.
I showed you the secret vulnerable space in me,
The soft, fragile temple of my inner open heart.
But you set on fire me and our shared dreams.
What scared your soul so much in there?
What did you feel, but couldn't name to me?
What kind of lies won over your true desires?
What fear was stronger than your love?
What kind of story did you self-imagine?
Why didn't you finish our unwritten book?
What shaded projections did you prefer,
Just to remain in denial of what you feel
How could you bring me between your worlds
Expand my soul deeper than the entire void
And leave me there in empty space, alone
To watch my own desires burn in flames?
You cracked the code to my forbidden places
You took me by big surprise, but I didn't care
I trusted you that much, of course, I dared
I let you in, but you weren't ready to enter.
You showed me the path to my own power
When I wanted to offer you what I'd found
You told me I was a naïve fool, crazy bitch
That lives in a delusion... you had created.
You had a free pass to my intimate vision
I trusted you that much and with zero filters
You knew exactly how and where I dream
Why did you use my trust against us?
You wanted to remain on your throne
You even invited me to sit next to you
To see, to sense inside the raw dreams
I guess, you didn't enjoy how that felt.
You invited me for a clever adventure
Was it you? Or did I invite myself in there?
Or, maybe, we both were asked to join
A sacred dance of the unknown magic.
I jumped without even hesitating
Into the deep waters of potentials
I didn't even care to lose my mind
My heart already knew its own way
I trusted us: you, me, them, the space.
I had surrendered fully to what was there;
I wanted to dance and play with our love.
You saw it as a call for war of madness.
What kind of king would fight the fragile queen?
Which one would hide from his shame and fear?
Who would even dare to overpower her freewill
To manipulate her desires to fit their own?
Who would lie to her soul so absurdly
Use her deep pain to prove their reasons
Which coward gets in her broken heart
Just to leave there a piece of his own shit?
Be very careful to whom you open up,
To whom you trust showing your inside.
Sometimes people you trust the most
Are craving to crush it for their pleasure.
They wait to feel you weak and powerless;
They take advantage of your vulnerable ego
To get revenge against their own demons
By projecting them on other suffering people.
They feed their broken hearts with logic
Without even understanding its wisdom
They only listen to their own corruption
They dismiss you if you dare to disagree.
The prison of their closed mind is so tragic
They believe all the rules of our nonsense
They blindly obey the authority of the order
Because they are so damn scared of power.
The power of the unknown and the chaos
This movement that infuses every breath
They are terrified of the life force existing
While they pretend to sell you its freedom
They name themselves the saviors of divine
With such excuse you can allow whatever
They think that war, abuse and destruction
Are justifiable and fair if done for the good.
They have themselves created the definitions
Of moral judgment, the law of right and wrong
They can change the rules and the procedures
Just to enslave your soul in their selfish ego trip
They preach the universal love and peace
They eat, drink, and masturbate the light itself
They are ascended masters in the metaverse
Of their own delusional and wounded selves.
You only matter if you accept their game
Where you keep validating what they want
Where they remain in power over your soul
Because they think they are better than you.
They are just scared and ashamed themselves
The real problem is that they don't know why
Because feelings don't make much sense
It's easier for them to put it in your garden
The hypocrisy is blooming with naked power
So many new wild species of deep self-denial
Such beautiful smells and colors of flowers
Are still sleeping and prefer staying this way
Because they cannot yet see their own tree
They don't even know what this means
So when you talk to them about the roots
They are unable to perceive the stars in it
They prefer to grow wings and fly away
They want to dance and sing far in space
It is so much easier to become invisible
Than to walk on this earth with true honor
They separate the world in black and white
They create division between left and right
They have the list of who deserves to survive
Based on their self-proclaimed status of kings
The cultural supremacy at its exquisite peak
Since we are convinced to be best and most
We have no problem to impose our false truth
With violence, even where we don't belong
We have entitled our own selves as judges
Of what is welcome in the privacy of others
In distant lands with unknown to us people
We believed that our beliefs are just better
How can you even understand the raw mind
Of someone who comes from so deep and far?
How can you pretend to feel inside the heart
Of the body that didn't grow up on your land?
How can you know from where comes my power?
Can you hear my ancestral forest singing its songs?
How can you humiliate, condemn and disapprove
The secrets of my homeland you haven't even met?
Why when you experience something unknown
Do you automatically think it must be judged?
Your ‘’new’’ becomes the divine gift from God
And the ‘’new’’ of the other is probably evil.
You create fantasies about what you don't know
Your judgments constrict the flow of our nature
You innovate, you co-create, and you transform
And you criticize the results of your own efforts
You cannibalize the sacred dreams of others
You think you are a welcomed master in there
You show up with no invitation or real purpose
You think it gives you the permission to feel them.
And, after, you complain to be confused
Lost in not knowing to whom it belongs
You get lost in the open field of nowhere
Just to avoid feeling your own deeper pain
You protect your own suffering and shame
You are the slave of your darkest desires
The eternal student of your fears at play
In this majestic game of your transcendence.
