Alone in Kyoto

These weeks I'm feeling miserably alone.
These nights I crave for something I don't really know what it is.
There's no one aligned with my thoughts.
No one whom I really belong to. I think I don't belong to anyone indeed, not anymore. I'm not necessary to no one. And shouldn't be, either.

These nights I'm a dreamhunter. I seek for sleep and slip away from all that is dirty and unfair and illogical and boring and frustrating and ugly, and foul and frightening. I slip away from the eyes of the malnourished children, and the arrogant riches, the ill-doers, and the fools like myself.

But mostly, I think, I wanna melt away from this loneliness that brokes my heart.

I feel Alone in Kyoto. Looking trough the window all the time. Trying to undestand the people who comes and goes in the sidewalks, cafes, trying to extract the beauty I used to see in the world and that I know it's out there, everywhere. I can't see it these days.

I'm tired and lonely. And the sadness fills in, creeping and infiltrating in my mind like a steady and cool wind who sweeps out all the dust and leaves only a steryle ground behind. A place where nothing grows. No desire, no reaction. Maybe I feel less pain, this way.

I don't wanna grow up, and I'm feeling like I'm inside a cage made of responsibilities and determinations. Be cool, be good, be preety, be wealthy, be smart, be intelligent, be honest, be fair, be frindly, be loved, be.

And sometimes I wish upon the stars I so often look in the sky for the moments when I can be just nothing and have nothing and fear nothing, and feel nothing.

The world seems too heavy, too big, too dark and dangerous, and I... I'm only a believing child.

Só uma coisa a dizer: todos se sentem assim de vez em quando. Alguns com mais, outros com menos freqüência, mas a idéia de ausência de sentido creio que é inerente à racionalidade da raça humana. Para a maioria, se manifesta apenas como um sentimento ruim, ausente de vetorização. Uns poucos, sofrem e poetizam enquanto olham para as estrelas.

Beijos!
