Refém da Solidão
Paulo César Pinheiro
Hostage of Loneliness
Who made loneliness their good
Will end up as its hostage
And life stops as well
Doesn't come or go
Becomes a certain peace
That neither makes nor breaks
Making things trivial
And the human being unable to move forward
Without knowing where to go
Unfortunately, I did nothing
I wasn't happy nor unhappy
I was just a learner
Of what I didn't want
Learner of dying
But to learn how to die
It was necessary to live
And I lived
But never found out
If this life exists
Or if these people insist
On saying it's sad or happy
Watching life go by
And this life is an actress
That cuts the good at the root
And turns evil into a scar
You'll see that this life is death
And death is
The life that is desired
