I Write

Escribo

I write...,Escribo…,
to keep bitterness distracted.para mantener distraída a la amargura.
I dodge...,Esquivo...,
its darts with words, my armor.sus dardos con palabras, mi armadura.
And I stay silent...,Y callo...,
because I say more in my silencesporque digo más en mis silencios
than deceiving wordsque engañando a las palabras
with adopted feelings.con sentimientos adoptados.

I write, dodge, and stay silent,Escribo, esquivo y callo,
and often cry on a sheet.y a menudo lloro en un folio.
My tears are ink, and I find noMis lágrimas son tinta, y no hallo
better attack than a poemmejor ataque que un poema
against so much forgetting,ante tanto olvido,
against so much sorrow.ante tanta pena.

I write...,Escribo...,
to heal my broken soul.para curar mi alma rota.
I shout...,Grito...,
so that silence doesn't catch me.para que el silencio no me coja.
And I heal...,Y curo...,
my wounds with a verse,mis heridas con un verso,
my fears with wordsmis miedos con palabras
and cry them on a page.y los lloro en una hoja.

I write...,Escribo...,
to keep madness at bay.para mantener a distancia la locura.
