poesi skall skrikas så fåglarna flyr
Någon kallade mig för ängel en gång...
vad hon inte visste var att man kan inte flyga utan vingar.
Så jag är fast här, med ruttnande minnen och sånger jag kan.
Jag ritar blommor med rakblad, jag häller salt i mina sår.
Jag skriker skällsord mot solen, jag kastar sten på allt av glas.
Jag slår mig själv med påkar, jag sticker knivar i mina lår.
Jag dinglar från grenar, jag slickar på as.
Hon kallade mig ängel, men vad hon inte förstod, är att en vingklippt ängel inte kan flyga alls.
Jag hatar dig för att du inte ser att den här clownen aldrig ler
när man får skrivklåda kan man inte garantera att det blir nåt vidare bra
...
Kan du se dem? Stjärnorna?
De gömmer sig hos människor ibland,
men ingen vet varför.
Man tror att de finns hos en, hos sina vänner.
Men när de borde skina som mest, då slocknar allihop.
Och du faller.
Livet blir till den mörkaste av alla kalla nätter...
och du blir en våldnad.
Du kryper längre och längre in i dig själv.
Skyr allt som kan få dig att falla igen.
Du slutar lita på folk, på dig själv.
Du blir rädd för stjärnorna, för människorna.
För dig själv.
Men kanske, kanske...
när du målat alla dina drömmar i svart sammet,
då kanske, kanske, kanske du ser det.
Det där du inte trodde fanns.
Inga gamla, använda stjärnor som kan lämna dig när som helst.
Men något nytt. Något verkligt.
Hopp.
Det är i dina ögon stjärnorna föds.
Ibland blir det verkligare än vad man tänkt sig
Vem är du?
Säg, är du en av dom
som sparkar på, spottar på,
bankar, slår och hoppar på andras lik,
andras ben, rädda flickors kroppar?
Ja, är du en av dom
som tittar på när andra slår,
skrattar, ler och flinar åt, andras sår,
andras liv, ledsna pojkars tårar?
Eller är du en av dom
som springer bort, gömmer sig,
bönar, ber och grämer sig
för den man är, vem man är, för den man ej törs vara?
Säg, är du en av dom
som får stå pall för alla ord,
liksom jag, just som jag,
känner du precis som jag?
