there's no way to please us

entirely

if i give myself until i forget

i make myself unhappy

if i care about me,

i'm selfish

there's no way to please us

entirely

my soul cannot be shared

with god and the devil

and i just want to strip

in words

as if i were seducing diego

like frida

be both — recipient and sender

cut the string i used

to tie my own hand

write the night

like the day

for as long as i need

until i feel emptied

but how to escape from

these thunderous whispers?

where does silence hides?

if loving is submitting

to prejudice

your own and of others

and there's no way to please

never entirely
