This is the poetry thred I had on razz....
Finally I've grown up just a little while ago I was only a child admiring what I could have but not trying to get it and now, I've streched my long, lean legs and like a leopard prepared for the run I was crouching under the weight of childhood now I can go and fly I can dance naked in the rain hearing the sound of ancestral drums and taking a broomstick in my hands walking in the moonlit threads of sunlight I will go and reach the sky

Sorry, this is not the best thing I have written, but I write in Italian, and this is a transalation fo one of my poems....here is the original text:
Finalmente sono cresciuta solo poco tempo fa ero ancora una bambina che ammirava quello che poteva avere ma non provava a prenderlo e ora ho allungato le mie gambe lunghe e forti e come un leopardo mi sono prepararta per la corsa ero accucciata sotto il peso dell'infanzia ora posso alzarmi e volare posso ballare nuda sotto la pioggia ascoltando il suono di tamburi ancestrali e prendendo in mano una scopa di saggina camminando nei fili solari di luna andrĂ² a raggiungere il cielo

FAILURE
Who I am is not important I am just a letter screaming red on the paper it's not your fault, some say what did you do, you stupid bitch my tears are diamonds my heart is a knife's cutting balde and I am bleeding... bleeding red letters that fall on the paper saying I am not good enough
This one was written in English originally, so no Italian text

BREATHE
Open your wings
measure your limits
a waterfall is beautiful, but what would it be without the sun? human beings are wonderful, but if you don't look at them in the eye you can't say you've known them
try to fly

SILENCE
what sound does silence make?
only tears in a dark room
what sound does silence make?
the running of time... too late... too late...
what sound does silence make?
a cry for help never answered a knife cutting a river never coming back
what sound does silence make?
no answer comes from the shadows in my soul

LIGHTNING
Today the depths of my soul shine in a strange light
I do not know who I am I am lost fog fog closing in a dark cloud
rain rain and in front of me a wall
behind it eternal bliss but I am weak and cannot climb and like Alice in wonderland I try to find my way
without knowing where I want to go

END OF A STORY
I gave you all my soul I gave you all I was and wanted nothing
You changed changed to please me and so I started hating you
I had not fallen in love with a copy of myself
You didn't know who you were and wanted to become what I was
And I was scared
The best thing you can do for others is be yourself

Clear water before me wind and rain behind me fog
a wall comes up in front of me I decide to jump and see what there is on the other side
moon and ancestral drums call me they push me tell me to go forward and leave behind my old love my old dreams my old securities
I must choose
and I decide to jump

MEMORY
Cool wind voices people coming out of the clouds
CONTRADDIZIONE
Sapere di non sapere sentire ma non ascoltare volare ma non volere
essere umano
CONTRADICTION
Knowing not to know hearing but not listening flying but not wanting to
being human
(here in the italian text there is a hidden meaning: essere umano means 'being human' but also human being')

A path... a path...
voices in my right ear
a star... a star...
voices in my left ear
a horse... a horse...
and my mouth is silent while my heart screams happiness
