Changing [17/9/2008]

Sabe, resolvi olhar uma coisa no meu flog e fiquei impressionada com como tem umas coisas legais l[a. E como a galera respondia, mesmo quando as coisas eram uns desabafos náo táo legais! Al[em do mais boa parte do que eu li foi de uma fase bem interessante da minha vida. Bom, náo resisto {a tenta;áo de publicar aqui um poema tirado de l[a1

-------------------------------------

I used to be something different,
something made of something else;
My feelings were dealt with differently,
perhaps exquisitly felt;
My dreams developed strangely;
my loves would bizarely melt.
Did anyone rearrange me?
Or did I reshape myself?

I once had a different accent,
wore different clothes and hairs;
And different friends presented me
unique unusual dares;
I had other inspirations,
I performed a different act.
What is it with transformations?
How can I deal with this fact?

This former me, was it good or bad?
This former me, was it joyful or sad?
This present me, is it wise enough
to pay respect to what's buried beneath?

This former me, is it gone for good?
This former me, would it live if it could?
This present me, is it strong enough
to carry the legacy trusted to it?

Um comentário:

Rafael F. disse...

Gostei bastante desse. Bastante mesmo.

Só os finais das duas últimas estrofes me incomodaram. Os que começam com "This present me". De alguma forma me pareceram quebrar com a estrutura e com o ritmo do resto.

Pensando agora, de uma forma bizarra até isso parece fazer sentido.
