CLOSE THE GATES OF THE SOUL

By: Slavka Bozovic 

                   

Life consists of joy, pain and disappointment

often the burden of injustice suffocates us

then in the realm of silence we seek salvation

in this way we ease the burden on the afflicted soul.

In this strange, cruel world

people feed on other people's pain and torment

therefore, do not show tears, as a sign of weakness

they will bite you on the heart, pour salt on the wound.

Close the gates of the tender soul

build a solid wall, somewhere deep in the bowels

boldly, like Sisyphus, slowly move that burden

just keep quiet, so that no one notices or sees.

Draw a smile, go out among the people

do not let the ungodly rejoice in pain

it will pass, as will all that passes

With firm faith that better days are coming.

Open your soul to the paper, take the pen

it feeds on letters or completely new ideas

only with a strong will tears are overcome ...

Therefore, never show weakness in front of this world!!!
