Confession
To say I'm without fear--
It wouldn't be true.
I'm afraid of sickness, humiliation.
Like anyone, I have my dreams.
But I've learned to hide them,
To protect myself
From fulfillment: all happiness
Attracts the Fates' anger.
They are sisters, savages--
In the end they have
No emotion but envy.
It wouldn't be true.
I'm afraid of sickness, humiliation.
Like anyone, I have my dreams.
But I've learned to hide them,
To protect myself
From fulfillment: all happiness
Attracts the Fates' anger.
They are sisters, savages--
In the end they have
No emotion but envy.
CONFESIÓN
Mentiría si digo que no tengo miedo.
Le temo a la enfermedad, a la humillación.
Como todo el mundo tengo mis sueños.
Pero he aprendido a esconderlos,
a cuidarme a mí misma
de la plenitud: cualquier felicidad
atrae a las Furias del Destino.
Son hermanas, salvajes.
No poseen ningún tipo de emoción,
sólo envidia.
