I loved Japanese songs
Six years ago, when I started learning Japanese
I was overjoyed when I understood ONE word
Telling myself "I did it"

But now, when reading lyrics
I understand everything but one word
I tell myself 'I'm an idiot"
I studied 6 years for nothing

What is the standard for "I did it"?
Why does it feel so hard?
What is satisfaction?
Why does it seem nonexistent?
What is the reward for confidence?
Why does it feel like nothing?
