Paciencia

I wish luck would come
And pick me up one day
Take me by the arm for a stroll
Down the path I dreamed of as a kid
Sometimes I've lost my vision
It's years of planting and waiting
I'm sinking deeper in frustration
But I know it will come for me
Time keeps passing and I don’t know
If I’m right or if I’m wrong
Life is an endless wait
For the day luck will return

Keep waiting in its place
Keep forgetting your home
Gods and judges
No one hears you
All the people
Blind and insane

A child is just looking for his dad
But he’s abandoned
And his mother grows giant and reaches everything
"You’re just like your father," she angrily tells him one day
A teenage boy searches for his dad
A young boy looks for his father
A grown boy seeks his dad and has a son he abandons
To go look for his father

I wish the door would open
And you’d come to get me one day
To walk and tell you what I never said
I’m old but old, listen to me
I have an old wait inside me
A frozen child with a beer
Who waits for your arms to feel warmth
Sometimes I forget to wake up
I always fall asleep at dawn
I can’t remember your name anymore
I’ve lost my ID too

Keep forgetting in its place
Keep waiting for your home
Irrational gods and judges
Disconnected, uprooted

Patience
Patience

You’re not waiting for any god
What you’re waiting for is your dad to come and accept you.
