“The Art of Becoming Who I'm Not I've mastered the art of mimicry, Bending and twisting, so you'd see The person you want, not who I am, A reflection caught in someone else’s plan. I wear the masks you’ve tailored tight, Changing my colours in your light. But the weight of this act has grown too vast— I’ve lost myself in shadows cast. You think you know me, but it's a lie, A crafted version built to satisfy. I shape-shift, I mold, I rearrange, A puzzle of fragments that feel so strange. In your eyes, I’m whole, I’m sound, Yet inside, I’m nowhere to be found. A chameleon lost in its own disguise, Drowning beneath layers of compromise. Who am I when the curtains fall? A hollow echo, nothing at all. An actor lost in endless roles, Pieces scattered, shattered souls. So if you think you know my face, Remember, it’s just another place Where I’ve hidden, tried to belong— But this pretence has gone on too long. I’ve forgotten who I used to be, Caught in the trap of who you see.”

“The real power in America is held by a fast-emerging new Oligarchy of pimps and preachers who see no need for Democracy or fairness or even trees, except maybe the ones in their own yards, and they don't mind admitting it. They worship money and power and death. Their ideal solution to all the nation's problems would be another 100 Year War.”

“As almas são suscetíveis ao sofrimento. É por isso que eu enterro as memórias. Vivê-las uma vez chegou. Revivê-las é um hábito destrutivo. Mas enterrei as minhas memórias dele num caixão de vidro”

“O dia em que o conheci é uma memória coberta de alegria de ter acontecido e da dor de ter passado. Porque mesmo que eu te diga que já esqueci, não deves confiar em mim. Nunca te esqueces da primeira vez que cais.”
