i want to say things
but i am dumb
need a little time to explain
but my attempt in vain
at least to see things
no sight beyond
i want to run
crippled i feel
i want to shut my eyes
then it comes
just like a film
to try further
to trash the pain within
i am lost
when i want to sleep
i stay awake
when trying to awake
from a dream, i lived
oh it really hurts
but i feel myself
tolerate the bitterness
of being an outsider
* * *
you might have said it
just like a greeting
but i believed it
no more exit
oh this is solitude
a single heart beating
a single life cheating
but i do declare
still, my life goes on!
