Don't let the day end without having grown a little,
without having been happy, without having increased your dreams.
Don't let discouragement defeat you.
Do not let anyone take away your right to express yourself,
that is almost a duty.
Don't give up the desire to make your life something extraordinary.
Don't stop believing that words and poetry
they can change the world.
Whatever happens, our essence remains intact.
We are beings filled with passion.
Life is a desert and an oasis.
It knocks us down, it hurts us,
teaches us,
makes us protagonists
from our own history.
Even if the wind blows against us,
the powerful work continues:
You can contribute a verse.
Never stop dreaming,
because in dreams man is free.
Don't fall into the worst of mistakes:
the silence.
Most live in a dreadful silence.
Don't give up.
Run.
"I emit my howls through the roofs of this world,"
says the poet.
Appreciate the beauty of simple things.
One can create beautiful poetry about small things,
but we cannot row against ourselves.
That turns life into a hell.
Enjoy the panic it causes you
to have life ahead.
Live it intensely,
without mediocrity.
Think that the future is within you
and faces the task with pride and without fear.
Learn from those who can teach you.
The experiences of those who preceded us
of our "dead poets",
they help you walk through life
The society of today is us:
The "living poets".
Don't let life pass you by without living it...
