Words from a shiny star, Lulling my sadness to sleep. I begun hoping without realising, A faint dream I did not wish for. What good does having feelings brings? Nothing, I screamed; Nothing but pain to my bowl. I have long past the age of dreaming, I was a fool. My love ones sent me two bowls of rice, In hopes that I keep on going on, In hopes that I never fall. I dare not let them down, I dare not let out cries, I hide my broken spoon, the cracks in my bowls; And I laughed.

My love ones sent me two bowls of rice, In hopes that I keep on going on, In hopes that I never fall. I dare not let them down, I dare not let out cries, I hide my broken spoon, the cracks in my bowls; And I laughed.
