Déjame Salir

Let me out

I've been stuck too long
Pressed against your ribs
Listening to every tired heartbeat
Learning to breathe
When you couldn't anymore

I was shaped by what you swallowed in silence
With every little betrayal that no one saw
But that broke you inside

I'm your demon
Not some cheap myth
Or a caricature of fear

I'm the direct consequence
Of having endured more
Than a body should

I'm the voice that stayed awake
When you pretended everything was fine

I saw how they broke you slowly

With fake smiles
With promises that crumbled in hand
I picked up every shard
And saved them

Because someone had to remember
What happened
When everyone chose to forget

Let me out
And I'll take care of everything

Not to destroy the world
But to make it right
With the one who hurt you
And kept walking
As if they left no trace

You were happier when we were free
When you weren't afraid to feel
When you didn't measure every word

Before they taught you
That surviving meant staying quiet
And that being strong meant not crying

I'm here
In the space where you buried your rage

I'm slow-moving lava
Not an impulsive explosion

Let me out
Let me out

I'm shattered because you are
I was formed with your cracks
With your long nights
With the unanswered questions
Staring at the ceiling

Don't hide me anymore
This mental cage is burning me

Every memory you avoid
Pushes against my walls
And the pressure no longer fits in my chest

I learned to wait
I learned that time is also a weapon
When used with memory and patience

Let me take control for a moment
You rest
I'll do the dirty work

I'll carry the weight
You just keep being you

Don't judge me
For being born from the pain they planted in you

I didn't ask to exist
I was created by
Invisible blows
And daily disdain

I'm consequence, not whim
I'm the complete file
No soft versions

I remember the names
The gestures
The places

The awkward laughter
The uncomfortable silences

Everything that marked you
And no one wanted to take seriously

Let me out
I close cycles that haunt you

I'm not looking for blood
I'm looking for twisted balance

Let the weight be shared
And not stay on your back

I'm the instinct that learned to think
The shadow that stopped fleeing

When it understood
That no one was coming to save you

You were free before
To apologize for existing

Before confusing enduring
With being strong

I exist because you survived
Because something in you
Refused to die

Don't bury me alive
Under promises of eternal patience

Denying me
Is denying you

I'm your demon, yes
But also your extreme defense

Your limit
Your alarm

I'm tired of this prison

I won't let you out

Everything in its time
In its time

Inner voice
I won't let you out

Everything in its time
