A monster in the dark - Un monstruo en la oscuridad-100 days of Poetry-Day 92
My musical theme that I connect to, between lines, with this creation is: Evanescence - Understanding
"Fear sharpens the senses, anxiety paralyzes them"
A monster in the dark
We open our eyes and feel a monster in our chest,
squeezing our ribs, making catharsis with us.
It breaks us, it weakens us and we only think
to disappear and wait for death in bed.
If it happens to you, get up,
even if you do not have a reason to wake up.
Find your reason in whatever it is that moves you,
what makes you vibrate,
what revives the lion you carry inside.
Breathing, eating, moving, talking, that is not living;
it is only to exist and to be a flame does not necessarily imply burning.
Because to live is to go beyond,
is to do what animates the heart,
is to find goals and fulfill them.
Find love, enjoy it,
love people, fight for them
and fight for yourself.
Always look for a ray to light,
a puddle to jump, a window to look at.
There are so many seductions of the mind that statize
and so much misery ruining dreams.
What, it really is a miracle to get up like this.
Even in the worst days,
You will look for a reason to touch the sun,
Although every day you live with darkness, fight.
Monsters grow at moments
of more weakness, comfort calls you with more desire.
Courage! Open your eyes and get out of bed.
You have to escape, it only sinks you more.
Groom your wings, love them and fly!
"El temor agudiza los sentidos, la ansiedad los paraliza"
cita
Un monstruo en la oscuridad
apretando las costillas, haciendo catarsis con nosotros,
Nos rompe adentro, nos debilita y sólo pensamos
en desaparecer y esperar la muerte en la cama.
aunque no tengas una razón para despertarte.
Busca tu razón en lo que sea que te mueva,
lo que te haga vibrar,
lo que reviva el león que llevas dentro.
es sólo existir y ser una llama no implica, necesariamente, arder.
es hacer lo que alegra al corazón,
es buscar objetivos, cumplir metas,
encontrar el amor, disfrutarlo,
querer a las personas, luchar por ellas
y luchar por uno mismo.
un charco que brincar, una ventana en que mirar.
Hay tantas seducciones de la mente que estatizan
y tanta miseria arruinando sueños,
que, realmente es un milagro levantarse así.
busca una razón para tocar el sol,
aunque cada día convivas con la oscuridad, lucha.
Los monstruos crecen en momentos
de más debilidad, la comodidad te llama con más ganas.
Tienes que escapar, solo te hunde más.
¡Acicala tus alas, ámalas y vuela!

I cannot begin to count how many of these days i have had. And how much I have had to convince myself to get up and keep on moving. These are inspirational words indeed. Another lovely post.
Oh, Nicholas, it saddens me that you go through this. I also lived it and learned to let go. He has no idea of the large number of people who live struggling with this.
Un bello poema de esperanza, de ánimo, de luchar. Felicitaciones hermana, buena escritura.
¡Gracias, hermano!
Que belleza de poesía, querida @zeleiracordero . Muchas veces nos dejamos ganar por el desanimo y la tristeza, gracias por esta poesía llena de esperanza y de todo lo que debe sentir el alma:"Vida, Esperanza, Amor, Sueños". TicTac TicTac, falta tan poco para celebrar, me alegra estar aquí. Un abrazo! (Reesteem obligatorio) (La imágenes son una espectacularidad, me encantaron!).
Gracias por tanto cariño, @marybellrg.
Powerful, @zeleira! I couldn't help evoking The Nightmare by Füssli and the Japanese kanashibari. I love these dark issues in literature :3
Sure thing we're prone to become victims of our own minds in hour darkest hours.
Thank you, dear @marlyncabera!
Lovely inspiration,
