PT: A poesia não pede licença nem serve para acalmar: é um território vivo de catarse, voz e atitude. Sou a M.ª Leonor Costa (Nonô) — escritora, performer e criadora de Poesias da Nonô. Dou corpo, som e presença à palavra dita em português e inglês, habitada por heterónimos que navegam entre o visceral, o sagrado e o quotidiano. Entra sem pressa. Lê com o corpo, escuta com a pele e habita este espaço.
EN: Poetry doesn't ask for permission, nor is it meant to soothe: it is a living territory of catharsis, voice, and attitude. I am M.ª Leonor Costa (Nonô) — writer, performer, and creator of Poesias da Nonô. I give body, sound, and presence to spoken word in Portuguese and English, inhabited by heteronyms navigating the visceral, the sacred, and the everyday. Step inside. Read with your body, listen with your skin, and inhabit this space.

A dark tunnel hard to get through

Hello, the poem I bring to you today, is entitled: "A dark tunnel hard to get through", this was the name I gave to the period I went through in my personal fight against breast cancer. If you want to know a little more about my story, read last week's article by clicking here.

 Cancer

A dark tunnel hard to get through

I'm scared

I don't know if I'll survive

By life I was challenged

I have the will to win.

 

So much is left unbuilt

I need a new chance

If this disease doesn't destroy me

I will embrace a new reality.

 

Ahead I see dark

I can't even turn on a light

I keep a safe step

I cannot surrender.

 

For now, I accept fate

I try to trust

I go through foolish days

For life I continue to fight.

 

I'm in a dark tunnel

Hard to get through

Sometimes I rejoice

Because I choose to believe.

This poem was written recently, remembering what happened to me in 2017.

In the next article I will tell you about faith and hope, two indispensable ingredients during this process.

For those who want to contact me, I leave here my email: poesiasdanono@gmail.com

I will return with a new article here on the Poesias da Nonô blog next Friday, available from 6 a.m. onwards, I hope I can count on you. 

Until October 31 I will be daily on social media Facebook, Instagram, Twitter Pinterest and  TikTok, with the "Pink Marathon", since inspiring people is my mission!

On Fridays I also usually update with videos on YouTube, TikTok and with an audio "podcast" on Spotify's Anchor. 

If this article was helpful or inspiring in any way, I appreciate you sharing so that more people can be inspired as well.

I say goodbye with our usual greeting "bye bye"!

M.ª Leonor Costa (Poesias da Nonô)
