#afropoetry

Na defensiva até quando?  Quantos precisam de mim? Quantos?  Respiro fundo,  por mais que não me veja refletir  pelos cantos do mundo  Me agrido com as incertezas As mesmas que me fazem voltar a mim e para as raízes fincadas que a cada nova jornada, mais crescem. Sei o que me faz padecer, sei também o que me fortalece mas o que explicaria a tortura de minha própria mente? Coisa que boto na cabeça é que quanto mais eu luto, mais batalha me aparece. Subo o nível e vai tudo fluindo. Deixo as preocupações serem levadas pelo vento, que aos poucos me purifica.        Texto e foto: Naira Valente
