Mudanças
Vanusa
Changes
Today I will change
Search through my drawers
Throw away feelings
And foolish resentments
Clean out the closet
Remove moths and cobwebs
And anxieties from my mind
Stop suffering
For such small things
Stop being a girl
To be a woman
Today I will change
Put courage on the scale
Surrender to what I believe
To be who I am without fear
Dance and sing out of habit
And not have dark corners
To keep my secrets
Stop saying
I don't have time for life
That screams inside me
To free myself
Today I will change
Get out of myself
And not only use my heart
Stop blaming failures
Release the ties
And hold onto the ties of reason
Fly free
With all my flaws
So I can release
My rights
And not demand from this life
Neither directions, nor decisions
Today I need
And I will change
Divide in time
And add in the wind
All the things
That one day I dreamed
To conquer
Because I am a woman
Like any other
With doubts and solutions
With mistakes and successes
Love and heartbreak
Gentle as a seagull
And fierce as a lioness
Calm and peacemaker
But at the same time
Irreverent and revolutionary
Happy and unhappy
Realistic and dreamy
Submissive by condition
But independent by opinion
Because I am a woman
With all the inconsistencies
That make us
A strong weak sex
Today I will change
Search through my drawers
Throw away feelings
And foolish resentments
Clean out the closet
Remove moths and cobwebs
And anxieties from my mind
Stop suffering
For such small things
Stop being a girl
To be a woman
I will change
I will change
I will change for real
I will change
I will change
I need
I need to change
