We feel that we are not trully "heard" in our adolescence. We feel that no one understands us.. and we usually choose to be silent, we close ourselves off, at any cost, essentially searching for who we are, our roots.. even where we belong. Words stay in the soul, they become complaints, wounds..
And so in order to "fit in" somewhere in general, but also in groups of any kind as friends, we often try to "change" things in ourselves, without wanting to.. But in this way, do we become victims of our imperative, normal human need to belong somewhere? Victims of ourselves..? What would it be like if we chose to speak openly? What would it be like if we managed to truly love ourselves? How differently would we live?

"Words I didn' t dare to say"

I don't want to change.. but when I force myself to change, I destroy myself. To please you.. to accept me.. I become a victim of myself..


I started at a young age in the streets of my mind
I struggle a lifetime with my own pains

I learned to accept lies as truth
And all this became an addictive habit

I reminisce, I think, I return to my roots
And from now on I define my future

I got tired of talking about hatred and passions
I don't want to pay anymore for your mistakes

The main value of life is presence
But you taught me to live in absence

I locked the doors, the keys are buried
Words that were not said are deeply closed

How would it ever be possible to express what I feel
All my feelings that I struggled to save

I had no choice but to keep them
I tried very hard never to hate you

I tried to sleep for a while to forget
Whatever if I did it for you, not to lose you

Oh look, I decided
to love myself so much
that I managed to
unload a lot from my soul

Shadows that didn't speak got lost in the darkness
and let dreams become signs

Signs that follow you, always stay with you
Now, in the future, for your whole life

I look in my mirror I don't see myself
I see the monster I made, I lose my redemption
..and I miss me.. feelings hidden, all tangled up!

Don't wait for someone to tell you who you are
You find yourself in silence, in  pain, in your loss

The voice inside my head tells me
I'm afraid that I'm not him but it's my ego

That's why, my soul, stop feeling sorry for yourself
Learn who you are and where you're going, don't be afraid of that

Dance through life, it's not just walking
it has sorrows and joys, love and pain

Oh look, I decided
to love myself so much
that I managed
to get rid of a lot of my soul

Oh look, beauty
is hidden in my soul
so I decided to live
this is my life..!
