Look with the hands (Ancestors 2024 - 03/2024)

Without warning me, or asking my permission, you knocked on the door, I opened it, you messed up my hair… freedom, making decisions one after another… why? Doubts, my head flies aimlessly… I don't recognize myself, I lose control, I'm scared, but I want to continue, I don't know why, I'm not satisfied with just breathing.

I don't want to think, just allow myself to feel and be happy… And sadness appears and envelops me, going back to the past, growing, missing you, difficult moments.

Life surprises you, moves you and makes you grow… accept, let go…

And I lose control again, I lose myself, I try to understand it, find answers… I get stronger… enough! I'm very strong now… don't test me again… doubts, I have no direction, and I'm scared, I cry.

What if I want to lose control and I don't dare?

I'm tired of holding on, always doing the right thing, everything perfect.

I want to feel free, be free… Fly… have wings like a bird, dance in the rain, and come back…

Here I am, my head controls me… what do I do? Should I let go of control and let myself go? What will happen? Uncertainty… I look for signs, even though I know the answer is inside me, daring, desires, breaking the mold.
