Prkos (na moj način)

Jednom sam na svoja pleća
preuzela sve ratove ovoga sveta
u želji da ga od njih oslobodim
i svi su, puni mržnje, pucali u mene
***
Jednom sam okrenula glavu od sveta
i obrnula oči naopako
i kada mi je telo bilo gladno
nije mi bilo bitno čime me hrane
***
Jednom sam, razočarana, srcem napustila svet
da mu se nikada više ne vratim
i zabranila mu izlaz dalje od grla
Od tada vodim samo svoje ratove
reči su mi hronično teške i oštre
i samo još blagim pogledom prkosim
i svetu i sebi

Defiance (my way)

Once I took on my shoulders
all the wars of this world
in desire to free it from them
and everyone, full of hate, shot at me
***
Once I turned my head from the world
and turned my eyes upside down
and when my body was hungry
It wasn't matter to me with what they feed me
***
Once, disappointed, my heart left the world
never to come back again
and I forbade him to go out beyond my throat
Since then, I'm only fighting my own wars
My words are chronically heavy and sharp
and only with a mild glance I am defying
the world and myself
