I hope

I need to be willing, not to want to win
and if someday I lost my fear of losing
It hurts me to have run not to arrive
and now I know that the journey is the finish line, too
 
fears that I never raised have already grown
and I don't know the answers for not asking
I felt like no one when I was fine
and I cried like everyone when something goes away (hopefully)
 
Nobody teaches you to be strong but they force you to,
no one ever wanted a weak person to trust
nobody teaches you the steps in a world
that forces you everyday to be willing to stand up and walk away
 
You will always come back to where you felt so happy,
although you may confuse pain with happiness,
and now you aren't even yourself but you think in yourself and that will kill you
 
And I hope they never hug you for the last time,
there are so many people to be with but not to be something with
we are just roads that tend to twist
hundreds of loose flaws that we must overcome
 
And I wish they accepted you for the first time,
and they understood that everyone deserves the best
that there is no person who should not have it,
since we are circumstances we never chose to be
 
The confidence never came back with time,
and the fruit of my life isn't based on what I have
and if every second could go in slow motion,
just in case you would hesitate this time in the attempt
 
And if we understood that all of us are perfect,
despite the blots that will want to stain the painting
Everything is an addition even though the rest doesn't think so
one thing is what I am and another one just what I show
 
I am not afraid to lose, but to give everything up for lost,
because now I don't want to overcome, but to be convinced
Before being happy I must be with myself,
I will look at the rope to tell it "I'll go on"
 
I will stop demanding myself all I ask
and I am going to learn to accept what I never get
I will stop blaming myself, lying to myself, letting myself down, telling myself late truths I need
 
Because I also dedicated time to somebody who no longer remembers me,
I also glued the pieces of the same thing that I later broke
I haven't even understood myself and I have understood that's the way it works
I haven't been confused, I have been melted with the worst of me
 
I have moved to problems and I've wanted to be happy there,
I have been spinning around for not taking you away from the middle
I have asked everyone to be able to define myself
How can you tell a river to stand still and stop flowing?
 
Nobody teaches you to be strong but they force you to,
no one ever wanted a weak person to trust
nobody teaches you the steps in a world
that forces you everyday to be willing to stand up and walk away
 
You will always come back to where you felt so happy,
although you may confuse pain with happiness,
and now you aren't even yourself but you think in yourself and that will kill you
 
And I hope they never hug you for the last time,
there are so many people to be with but not to be something with
we are just roads that tend to twist
hundreds of loose flaws that we must overcome
 
And I wish they accepted you for the first time,
and they understood that everyone deserves the best
that there is no person who should not have it,
since we are circumstances we never chose to be
