In a dark room,
there is only a worn-out chair
that stands in what little light there is.

In such a dark room,
only a girl drawn to desire
continues to die under emptiness.

In this dark room,
the girl sits upon her weeping chair
with gloom.

I'm isolated and forced to live bored
I think of talking to my friends,
but are they really?

I don't talk to them much,
we just know each other,
do they really think I'm a friend?
I'm practically a stranger now.

I lose friends more than I gain.
I can't socialize, I can't talk
I always call them my friend,
but what does it feel like to have one?

I want someone to talk to
someone who knows nothing about me.
Someone who knows me.


Maybe a penpal could work...
2020: I only have two "friends" I talk to and I feel so lonely and bored of life.

Grey, altostratus skies filled with silence,
and within that silence,
misplaced glee.

Grandmother's last day
will shine brighter than before
towards the window
where the flowers bloom with scents
where the fragrance follows her
First attempt at a tanka poem.

So many people,
so many memories,
I thought to myself

Regrets and deaths
of both rage and sorrow
is the fruit in the path I misled.

It wasn't pretty flowers
in a pretty meadow,
it was the unbeatable power
of the mirror's echo

This echo, for some unforeseen mistake,
is what had led me to the room.
The water-filled room,
The drowning room.
I tried doing rhymes.
