Is there no owner of these pains,
Who loaded them onto my back?
Why are they with me at night,
Why do they sit upon my eyelids?

Day by day, diminishing; my hopes, my faith, my love…
As they fade, they gnaw at my soul,
As they gnaw, my light diminishes,
As it darkens, my feelings grow dull.

One must take ownership;
Of love, affection, mistakes, achievements.
No one has the right to lie to another,
To drown one's mind in an ocean of doubt.

Sometimes, courage is needed to leave.
With the unresolved packed in your suitcase.
To take your jacket with honour,
With pride; without destroying, without burning, with a silent scream.

I no longer have faith in anything or anyone.
No hope, no expectation.
As if counting the hours to my departure forever.
All my poems are ownerless now,
All my endings are unsigned…
