The War Within

The War Within


Dream, my child, not of this wretched world, tainted by sin.
Not of this war we fight yet never win,
Not of this pain that shatters our every hope
Not of this crying nature we can no longer cope.

Dream, my child, not of this passing pain,
But dream of love and light and life which isn’t vain.
Of hope that you are many, and fighting side by side
That you have won, my dear, that you no longer hide.

Dream, my child, dream now, of peace.
Not of this world that`s falling piece by piece.
Not of the loneliness you suffer every day,
Not of the darkness that always finds a way..

Dream..

And yet, awake you are, fighting your own war
And still in pain you are, stronger than before
And still you cry, and still you fall
And your wounds bleeding, made by them all.

Dream, of a world that’s better, not dying, like this hell
Dream…

"I will not dream.
I will not fall asleep.
I will keep fighting, I have oaths to keep,

Through wounds, through pain
Through tears that I shed in vain,
For I will end the wars, the darkness,
And shine my light throughout the heartless

So they can love, so they can win
For all this life comes from within."

Learn from all things..

Originala, este poezia lui Traian Dorz, "Invata de la toate". I`ve translated a poem.. which is not as easy as it seems.. -.-  The original was amazing, mine.. lacks.. a lot.. Learn from the waters to have your way improved  Learn from the mountain how to believe, unmoved Learn from the fire that everything is ash Learn from the shadows to keep your mouth and watch Learn from all stones how much you have to say Learn from the Sun how you should always fade Learn from the wind that often wafts on paths How silent through this world you really have to pass Learn from them all, for they are all your kin  How beautiful to die, how beautiful to live. Learn from the maggot that no one is forgotten Learn from the fire what is to burn inside. Learn from the Sun to know the place of time Learn from the river to never turn your back Learn from the lily, the purity you lack Learn from the shadow to humbly be like her, Learn from the...

Chapter 01. What I think

I think I’m not as good as I thought. This entire hero persona that I think most of us have is crashing slowly. I’m afraid of it happening, I try to avoid it with everything I have most of the time. But nothing seems to work. Even more so, the more I avoid it, the sadder I become. There’s a story about this. I was in this car with a, I would call friend at the time, from the church I was frequenting. We were having this long conversation about our lives while he was driving to china town to buy some freshly baked bread. We sat in that car park for a while talking and I mentioned that, while going on about my life, I ignored what god told me to do, and resisted it. However, after a while, I became depressed, too exhausted to resist and keep on doing my own thing, so I decided to finally cave in and do what god has initially told me. I can’t possibly recall right now, but it was a high chance of being about my girlfriend at the time. He immediately interjected how such occurrences...

Thoughts.

            So, people talk to each other. Maybe sometimes they talk to themselves alone. On their way to work in their car or hidden at the back of the bus, thinking no one can hear, trying to sort things out. Tired of the loneliness inside their head. Creating other people, other voices, to be there for them. They need it. At least, they believe they do, truly. Considering how strange it is, you’d think they wouldn’t even try. But loneliness is much worse than stigma, that’s for sure, and no ugly stare from some random stranger is ever going to stop them from calming their echoing void inside. You’d be surprise what the voices have to say sometimes, they’re quite amusing when they try. Sometimes they don’t, and it’s quite daunting to even try listening. Or giving them a voice to begin with.             You’d think talking like that makes people insane, or that they must be i...
