[English]

Contaré la situación,

Cada día que viví,

Buscaba realmente morir,

No tenía elección,

No encontraba la ilusión,

Buscaba en vida morir.

Fui culpándole al destino,

Refugiándome en las sombras de mi habitación

Resignado en la ignorancia

De mi oscura decisión.

Dudando de la moción,

Y sintiendo que en mi interior,

Iba naciendo una solución.

Dejé entrar la claridad,

A grito desgarrador,

En la vida siempre hay que luchar.

Fui enterrando mi pasado,

En cada hoja y cada verso que escribí ayer,

Rompiendo grilletes y candados,

Echando libre a correr.
