Watch me smile
Like a rose in the wind
My delirium floats
Under burning desire
Being alive and queen
In my innocent world
From those rains of light
That melt onto my field
Watch me die
To the love reaching for me
Its arms and its sighs
That heat up my blood
The moss under my feet
Like a silk carpet
A base for my bed
To let myself go sometimes
Watch me suffer
When I don't love myself anymore
When I'm scared of being seen
And of being stripped bare
When I'm vulnerable
And nobody hears
The greatness of the horror
That rumbles and misleads
Look at this huge void
This tender unknown
That I'd like to give in to
And wait for nothing else
A silence that scares
That can't surprise anymore
Cause I've known a thousand times
The taste of its ashes
Love slung over the shoulder
Like a stolen gift
I'd like to be a mother
To better comfort myself
To give myself welcome
Listening and reprieve
To give myself sweetness
To give myself some respite
How to give oneself
That love we're waiting for
That's never enough
And we don't know how to take
That even if we catch it
Our heart smiling sometimes
We close it again so fast
Afraid we might drown
And then one night, one day
We dare to accept it
This pearl, this sesame
That we'd hidden so well
In the hollow of our forgetfulness
On the edge of the pier
Gazing at the russet sky
Of erased dreams
Hunger bursts forth
Like a rage in the belly
The elusive ardor
That screams and haunts us
Like an old ghost
Tired of not being recognized
To be listened to without fear
So it can be read
Watch me fight
Against nothing, against everything
Prisoner of my cage
That I've built bit by bit
Telling my story
So I won't forget it
It grips me today
My throat
My freedom
I'm done, enough
Enough of being a victim
Of a senseless fear
That would sing its anthem
That I carry inside me
Like a flying flag
In the breeze of the elders
In the tree of nothingness
I end the story
I let the wind go
I give it back hope
And the breath of bygone days
I return to the earth
Those mistaken beliefs
That I was well taught
And that are poorly founded
If I want to live this world
My life my own way
I accept to live my law
To unite my soul with my reason
I let go
I dare to live myself
I let go
And I dare to live
