DIVINE PRIDE
However, I
am still a very lonely woman who enjoys little or no parties with friends or
family gatherings. For many, I am arrogant, conceited, with pretensions of
superiority. Unfortunately, they are unaware of what goes on inside me and the
enormous effort I make when I leave my beautiful universe to risk being
criticized over and over again. Most are unaware that while they run away from
loneliness, I embrace it freely. Their
opinions don't bother me, after all, people only see the surface and ignore the
depths in which my mind resides. Who am I to criticize someone else's myopia,
when I myself must wear glasses to see better?
"In my world silence is a warm melody
composed to seduce every petal of every rose. In my world the birds sing within
the oceans while the fish dance on the firmament. In my world my footsteps lead
me along peaceful paths, while wolves guard my lonely soul. In my world love is
my water and respect is my oxygen; the sun is my night and the moon is my day.
In my world black and white are passionate lovers who gave birth to millions of
colors. In my world the letters sneak between my sheets to be caressed by my
hands; and, although my words are mute, I always listen to them. In my world
the stars are The Eden in which my dreams will eternally bloom. In my world
darkness is my home, but light is my heart.
In your world, which you recognize as society,
I perceive as a riddle. In your world, what you call normal, I call interpretation.
In your world, loneliness is the dreaded Chimera; while for me, it is the
mighty Pegasus. Curiously, in your world I am only a being condemned for my
strangeness; but, I, although I do not understand you either, I do not judge
you. And, though I am no longer afraid to step into your enigmatic world; I ask
you not to misunderstand when my eyes wander into nothingness, for from time to
time, I want to visit my sweet space.
Remember, you are always welcome in my world,
just avoid carrying heavy judgments in your luggage."
