In every day of my long days, In every way of my few ways, I ‘m supposed to figure out, The untranslatable with no doubt My destiny and puzzles of fate Accumulating as they accumulate Echoes of stares in solitude, And joys in grieved mood, And thoughts of my shade, When in silence they fade, On my feet estranged Within my foolishness caged, I warmly come and coldly go, Ignorant of what I think I know, A smile on my lips I draw, Welcoming unfulfilled fears, I still have, I know- not of years, A pale face with sightless tears, And stream of my confidence, Despite my victorious pretence, Fails behind my false face, Lost among shadows of my race.
