TRAPPED IN THE WORLD

Trapped in my worldly noise,
unwilling to look around.
Between the insatiable search
for that unending diversion.
Between concerts, zarzuelas,
operas, ballets, and theaters,
cinemas, for that distraction,
a futile way of not looking.
Filling myself with distraction,
without wanting to see anything.
Hoarding diversions,
that lead to nothing.
So as not to see anything,
to forget life,
to flee from everything,
from that world,
that traps me,
and that is not mine,
a world not dreamed of.
A world of nightmares,
to flee from in moments,
to waste time,
and look away,
and forget cruel reality.
A vain way of filling,
that time so as not to see,
that terrifying reality,
in a flight from everything,
so as not to hear my soul.
