ASvnna † WEAKNESS † A Poem on Inner Frailty [Dark Poetry / Spoken Word]

Описание: "Weakness" is a poem, but also a confession. Originally published in a Spanish poetry collection by Óscar Gartei (https://a.co/d/4BomilD), this emotional piece is now brought to life in a darkwave and post-punk arrangement, full of atmosphere and haunting melodies. Experience the journey of inner frailty, introspection, and raw emotion through this unique musical interpretation.

Ah, if only they knew that everything is a farce,
a lie woven to deceive,
like those pretty words,
those flatteries,
of medieval knights to their ladies.

What lies at the bottom of every mask?
A lurking face, half‑closed eyes,
and the sinister grimace of an indecipherable visage,
whose most secret motives are unknown,
yet not alien nor, in truth, entirely illicit.

Here where you see a man made of iron,
do not be mistaken—I remain standing
only because the wind does not blow against me,
nor does it bother trying to bring me down.

The warp of my existence has come undone,
mutilated countless times, burned away,
leaving a hollow space for sensations
and feelings that may never settle again.

This is a stoic posture toward life—false,
a body language of self‑sufficiency,
power, control… Domination.
Domination over everything tied to blood.
Blood without substance.

But I cannot dominate what is not mine,
not even what lies within my grasp,
for I am a man of straw,
as hard or as soft as the stick you beat me with.
My shoulders bend beneath the weight of crows,
and my eyes flutter toward the ground,
torn shamelessly from their sockets.

Empty—or full of nothing, which is the same—
and today I am not particularly inclined
to heated debate,
nor to unrewarding chatter.

And though my peers kneel before me,
and beg, and clear the path as I pass,
they ignore that if I march proudly ahead,
it is only because I do not know where I am going.
I do not fear what I do not know.
That is not bravery—only stupidity.

I walk and walk like the madman,
always ready for heroics
and the loudest stupidities,
with the detachment of the suicidal
and the justice of the unrepentant idealist.

Armed with an unrecognizable garment,
of mixed colors and contradictory shades,
staging what others expect of me,
confirming the unreal image
I am unable to fight.

Weakness turned inside out.
The lie—unbreakable hardness.
Water that looks like stone, yet trembles.
Drips. Weeps.
Weakness?

🌑 ENTER THE SHADOW REIGN

ASvnna is a digital artist and writer crafting the living sound of a gothic narrative universe. My work explores the psychological depths of trauma, the ache for human connection, and the ritual of healing through shadows.

Here, music meets literature. Every song is a gateway to a world of broken icons and poetic darkness, featuring recurring characters from my lore like The Black Rose and The Poet.
