«Unlike the Ocean» by Miriam Costa

Unlike the ocean, my heart is writing poems on the surface with the stars all above my face. Now and later I wait for a new mistake, does not matter from who or where it comes from, it is to me, to throw towards art my joy, my pain. Let me depart where fear drives me, but still necessary to feel everything. Also to believe in anything.
Central-point!
There are nights that I dream awake and plan to displace some old skeletons on therapy… again and again… only my art, not my soul, is a silente flower with a thousand colours. But I keep up with both.
People aske me to go out but I dont feel like it. Boring….
Central-point!
Working on it!
I want a world with more angels, culture, food, and less wars and nightclubs, a pink sign past all talkers and lead me to a paint of a vintage-kind-man, I want to have time to arrange my books in alphabetical order, lots of cats and good lasagna, I want more books of Goethe!
When I was eleven I had time to write more…. (but I did not know that).
