It has always been
about depths,
and darkness,
and sad endings.
It has always been
about you,
and him,
and that guy
I glanced at the street.
Never about me.
I was always the poet
and never the poetry.
For writing about myself
is like painting an abstract
nobody can understand,
it would be like a medley of songs
nobody can dance,
it would be a mixture of words
nobody can comprehend.
The brightest stars
won't decipher the meaning
because
I am a paradox.
Neither I can understand myself.
Writing about myself
is like putting chunks of words,
words that have always been there,
simple and clear and perhaps,
beautiful;
but for some reason,
foreign.
I have always been a lover of words,
but when I write about myself,
words fail me.
It has always been
about depths,
and darkness,
and sad endings,
because all along,
although the poetry isn't about me,
I am the spirit.
