Gianni Manouguian

And thus the Queen of Heaven and Earth spoke to me :

"Think not that God in starving hands doth dwell,
Nor in the hearts that wound and yet pretend;
Nor in false tongues that preach of love too well,
Whilst cruelty and piety they blend.
He dwelleth not in torment cloaked as right,
Nor in the souls that glorify the night.
But in the silent wounds thou hid’st from sight,
In tears unwept that vanish in their flight :"

God commanded me to love my enemies, and for 11 winters my sorrow sharpened its teeth against my soul, feeding my heart with bitterness and calling itself a curse.
Yet the day I dared to name it beloved, the poison softened and turned to wine; when I called it teacher instead of torment, it bowed before me, and its fangs dissolved into my own breath :

The church is full, no empty chair to sit, alas, the chairs are full of dust and spider’s web :

I call myself one for what I’ve carried and survived :"

Writing is my world, where I bring my unconscious thought into this cruel reality and live more with despair :

I am a book without a cover, filled with stories that no one wishes to read :

I was the only one who knew the truth, the truth that everyone was hiding behind a mask, and I was the only one who was brave enough to show my real face :

Every tear
Tells a story
Bcz people don't cry
Without a reason
