Sickness - Voice over for video opera

Aggiornato il: feb 9

translated by Pascale Giorgi

I wasn’t feeling like I belong to the big picture of the world

Everything

As soon as I touched it,

was stained

and ruined forever.


 

I couldn’t find any comfort in mankind

I saw no truth in other people's smiles

and neither in mine


 

They were funeral masks,

Monuments to fear.

looking at them

I wonder if they didn’t think that

in a moment

they would disappear

Like others before them

Like everyone.


 

I would have given to anybody my free will

so long as he would take me off

that sensation


 

I wonder to get sick

and no longer have to fight


 

Something invisible was preventing me from happiness


 

God should have made a mistake with me

He must had forgotten a piece


 

I would like to be chained

Or among nuns in a monastery

Safe from mistakes and from world’s falsehood

The necessary fiction to live was intolerable


 

I desired to be a plant, any kind of plant


 

Still, with no defense


 

I would have swiped with flowers

that cannot escape from being caught


 

that are intended to die on a whim


 

I went far from anything

but it wasn’t enough


 

And at that time I found you

It was the time to completely abandon me

I let you come inside me


 

And let you deprive me not only of the shell that I became

but that you ate my past

till leaving me

out of the time and of the space


 

With no more right

to have borders


 


 

I let the abyss to bring me away

Like dirty water


 

I wanted to take off from me the weight\burden of filling me with anything

And I became a monster


 

Made of white and fragile bones


 

A dust residue


 

at the bottom of a deep pit


 

With no way out
