Poesía Venenosa

Poisonous Poetry
I'm sorry I don't meet your expectations
The thing is, I'm a bit of a troublemaker
I'm motivated by the controversy of the performing arts
No one draws the curtain, the seats are full
The light turns on and only shadows are projected
No one mentions me but I come out into the darkness
Where the red spotlight of desire doesn't shine
To see me play a character I don't believe in
How they enjoy applauding
When I give life to all the suffering with my tears
I have a knack for fishing words
I swallow them all to spit out the feeling
I wasn't advertised on any billboard
A few months ago, I was just another girl
Looking in the mirror, my heart turned to stone
Because my serpents swallowed a lot of poisonous ivy
Poisonous poetry, I sweat poisonous poetry through my pores
It makes no sense if I say it in delirium
The show ends, give me bouquets of lilies, poisonous
Poisonous poetry, I sweat poisonous poetry through my pores
It makes no sense if I say it in delirium
The show ends, give me bouquets of lilies
Today I feel like singing incoherences
A postmodern feminist from eternal spring
I try to make a living from art even though I don't really want to
I got lost in time and ended up in the wrong era
It's not just anyone who breaks a leg on stage
Who hurts their voice because the acoustics are bad
In Guatemala with a shattered soul
Before I succeed, they'll throw a grenade at me
I don't appreciate them criticizing my facade
I don't like to smile because I'm grumpy
This hypocritical, low-budget show
Has no moral or hormonal control, of course
I bet they won't pay for this
They'll criticize me because I'm not what they wanted
They wanted to relax, not hear my inner conflict
To endure me, they'll have to swallow poisonous ivy
Poisonous poetry, I sweat poisonous poetry through my pores
It makes no sense if I say it in delirium
The show ends, give me bouquets of lilies, poisonous
Poisonous poetry, I sweat poisonous poetry through my pores
It makes no sense if I say it in delirium
The show ends, give me bouquets of lilies, poisonous
