And if I found what I was looking for,
I wasn’t desperate, just lost and a little grumpy.
It was only for a simple reason:
Knowing that I never really lost what I sought;
I just ignored it because of my own ignorance,
Which, in the eyes of the people who love me most,
Has always made me realize how big my heart can be.
The expectations I placed on myself,
Combined with the responsibilities towards others,
Almost crushed me for letting them be.
My present, freed from mental clutter,
Has been replaced by the love I had locked away
In a prison from which I was able to rescue myself.
The moments are always in me, and within them,
The feelings they awaken.
Who makes me laugh or cry, I let them be.
Whether I stay or go, too...
Whether I leave them in my memory or erase them,
It all depends...
But yes, it’s a fact, I’ve already learned to let go of garbage,
Because the only key I have for my life
It will always be at my disposal,
Just for me, and no other.
