sunken cities in my brain

sunken cities in my brain

A Poem by berenongur

They told me to write my ideas and burn them
The voices of noble women should not be heard
They should laugh inside and speak with their eyes
And if someone sees what is in my heart, how can I say to God 
"But you made me love him"

I tried every kind of scream to suppress my voice
I have pains in the books of writers that no one knows
Do you hear the vocalist shouting in the background in the songs that no one listens to
That is my vocal

I tried to sit people down and talk
I served dinners to my family and made speeches by tapping on the glass
I didn't want to be understood, I wanted to be listened 

I lost my father, she lost her son
I missed there by 5 points, he lost it by 1
We had all lost, but our pain was racing

I wonder how long it took to build all the roads in the world
To connect them and ensure that vehicles can be driven safely
Because right now, there are unknown accidents on the roads in my brain
Sea overflowing to roads
I'm sure there are a few carcasses
There are many sunken cities and I've already lost track of them when they turned into moss

But I've decided to drain the water
Some engineers are needed
Let the sunken cities stay sunken
But there are families who need to get home
There are roads to be made and bridges to be built

Is a full youth and a quarter of an adult enough to rebuild my inner earth?
