(Listening To NF Real Music - Outcast)
Carnaval and Halloween
Self-Respect, what a tricky thing.
Are we tricking or treating ourselves?
Denying longings or embracing them?
They're there for a reason,
Clarity or confusion.
Would you not share your candy?
What's Halloween for if not to remind us that "sweetness" is a part of it?
How innocent to sweeten the cravings of our children...
Even if only for a day.
They grow up to forget what's like to taste chocolate without a care in the world...
Then somehow we eat it and hide it from them, so they don't indulge.
Yeah, controlling to control what we Love and "forget".
Chocolates turn into cigarettes, serious conditions, fake remedies...
Charity is the reason you share your candy or do you trade it like children do?
Have you gathered all of your "goodies" yet? What else is missing?
Children aren't concerned with the "value" of it but,
Their own earnings and preference in taste.
There seems to be enough for everyone, and next year they will do it again, gladly.
Wearing Masks as if then they have permission to be "different".
Their fantasies allowed at least once a year.
Cute, practicing wearing it for the rest of their adult lives but,
No fantasy is there, and no candy to earn and trade then...
Some of us never experienced the practice.
School thought us to "smile" for "business" instead.
Halloween is the trick there...
Carnaval is no different and we dress up, we play along, we wait for it.
Maybe it's the other way around.
Maybe everyday is a Circus and on Carnaval and Halloween we can finally be ourselves,
At least some of us will...
A forgotten favorite character,
Caricature of Fragments we deny the rest of the "time".
(Never minding, collected and perfectly "normal selves" acting better than Actors...)
How ironic!
Acting to remind us we are acting.
Mocking our innocence everyday, we are.
Learning to mock it better tomorrow - if we couldn't mask it well today.
"Crazy"- subject to the one day of the year we "allow" it to be or not be...
Any other day and it's "okay" to pretend.
I wonder if "our kids" are confused, embarrassed or tricking us too...
Are they really "fools" and oblivious to our "schizophrenic masks"?
Meanwhile, I Wonder what I'll be for Halloween.
Tricking and Treating myself to some Pumpkin,
Falling leaves I Love and Caffeine...
