In the university cafeteria, I listened to the conversations at the table One of the students asked me questions and he asked me along I followed him, I wanted a decision, a relationship for the rest of my life As an advance payment I got used to his company Every now and then, I showed a tip of my thoughts and I still try to make him understand who I am even though he would prefer to see me as he imagined me so I keep practising to become stronger than his resistance

See me
Alone, alone, one is alone too much, wasting time longingly, I want no people passing by no boring vicissitudes no daily uselessness but interest in my existence, in me Yes, I do want to live, to love and to care and pass on everything that should not be lost Yes, that's how it should be Yet there's nothing that should be and that's why one has to be alone alone too much

It's good that he doesn't think I'm special, as long as -- he notices me.

Mother can continue to see me as a daughter, but my brother and my husband must want to know me as I am I need that even if it's not true because my fruitless striving keeps me alive nonetheless Walking and writing in notebooks and letters explanations of who I am Book after book to refute and to replace what they like to think about me, to break it down and nuance it Word by word weighed and considered and rejected now for sale to strangers - my kind, if they dare to be so

Not in their image
When someone likes me, it always feels to me like -- a virtue of his.

My prettiest dress, and little jingles ringing -- in everyone's ears.

Am I made of glass? My inner self visible -- and unreachable?

Only noticed in a small circle and even so not quite for who you are and what you are able to, almost unneeded unfortunately that is common Time keeps going by and later, life forgets everyone and everything that was known and then there is no difference anymore Celebrity is a lie pinned on a beacon It does not matter but sometimes you sit around doing nothing and you feel that it is a pity for your children, your friends and society that you're not of more importance or leave behind more Time keeps going by and life forgets what has been

I do as I like, Mum stays calm, I don't know if -- I even exist.

So I'm a poet, which was once just a pose, but -- I conformed to it.

Come in, look at me, look at my inner world, my -- inner wallpaper.
