Heverson Santana Poems

I'd rather keep my integrity and lose than win with dirty hands.
...

I believe that to leave the comfort zone, we need to venture into exploring new seas.
...

Even without a reason to smile, I have millions of reasons to be thankful.
...

Talking about ourselves isn't an easy task, right?

But I'll try...
...

There's so much confusion in our choices that, deep inside, not even I can say what decisions I'll make tomorrow. Today I might think one way—especially about life—and tomorrow wake up wanting to do everything differently. The day after that, I might already be living a different situation. The truth is that we really are complex—or maybe we have reasons behind all of this. Reasons that lead us to act and seek a new change. With all of our personality, tomorrow I don't even know which path down the street I'll be on. Maybe I'll start reading a new book, learn to play an instrument, cook something different… There are so many possibilities in each moment.

Among these possibilities, if I get the chance to choose, who knows—maybe I'll be riding a streetcar. Or maybe I'll be the one making someone's favorite meal, trying not to think only of myself, but to give a little more of me to those who really care.

In the wings of hope, I find my refuge and, in silence, I make my prayer, not always seeing the obstacles that life places before me. I am like a vibrant color that paints pictures which, with time, become moments for those who remain alive in memories, turning into parts of me. I am a gift from God, an eternal learner in the cycles of coming and going. Even as a warrior, I carry my fears; I cry, I smile, and I take with me a blend of pain, joy, and cherished memories. When opening the door, you may face challenges; the deceptive maze does not reveal itself at once. Between dreaming and doing, any attempt to move forward can be exhausting, and choosing to give up is to lose oneself in the shadows of darkness. I believe in the beauty of tomorrow and, even if there are no roses in the garden, I keep going. Life is built in the present, that is why I try now, even if barefoot. I am an example of overcoming who graduated from the school of life. Many times, the school meal was a powerful engine for my motivation and learning, a written story that, deep inside, only longs to be happy.
