It is more than you and me can imagine It is even difficult for any human to comprehend Sometimes I just stare Sometimes I wonder in tears Sometimes I would want simply to shake off all my fears But of all my attempts it seems there is nothing emerging I have no evidence whether I am going or coming Whether the doors of the mercies are opening or closing I wonder if anyone is there listening to my petitions Got a feeling that I am in my own region Where no friend or family can come without hesitation Even enemies seem to feel sorry for me The sorrowful looks on everyone as they address me Double their low grievous shacking voices as they talk about me Speak books closed and open about my wellbeing It is a miracle to them to see a grave moving My name is already history Sometimes I feel so deserted Sometimes I come to understand that it is more difficult to be happy Sometimes I feel that it is impossible to find someone who won’t hurt you Sometimes I feel that it is better to stay with the one who hurts you especially if the hurt is worthwhile For sometimes you cannot figure out how much hurt the next person will cause to you It might be utter ruin or desolation or even extinction Loads and loads of questions pile my mind to the brim But chances of getting answers or even responses to them are so slim My head whirls, twirls, reels and dance to an anonymous tune Complex to me but funny to the onlookers like a cartoon I am not dull but It seems I am not wise enough Who else has ever lived such a life? This is a kind of question that makes me laugh Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Of course I expect no one to answer this one without a hustle If it happens to be there I hope it is not light from an oncoming locomotive
