I GET TO KNOW ME. I DO NOT EXIST: Poetry, by Fernando Pessoa

I GET TO KNOW ME. NOT EXIST
“I start to know me. I do not exist.
I am the gap between what I want to be
and others have done me,
Or half of this range,
because there is also life …
I am so, so …
Turn off the light, close the door
and sure to have slippers noises in the hallway.
I stay in the room only
with great peace of myself.
It is a cheap universe.”

(Fernando Pessoa)
