I will jump into the water,
Not even glancing at how deep
Not worrying what's there or who watching
But letting myself reach
What real in life?
Where exactly is reality?
What am I expecting
From this life's brutality?

I will wander astray,
Not worrying who I'm leaving behind
Not scared of the feeling
Not counting the time
Is time real?
Why is it dominating my life?
Why is it more important
For me to sit and cry?

I will look at myself critically,
Listening to the words
Harshly attacking me
Ruining my world
Why am I not pretty?
And what did I do wrong?
I can only hope
that I won't be this way for long

I will walk alone,
Without fear of darkness
Not mourning the loss
Of all my happiness
What is happiness?
Why can't I find it?
Where has it left me
in this cold, dark climate?

I will cry no more
not sad about losing
My emotions, my fears
My eyes are now closing
Why couldn't anyone in my life
Walk with me once
Where was the friendship
They spoke with their tongues?

I will live no more
With full regret
That no one cared
No one fret
Why did I jump
wander
look
cry?
Alone completely in my life?
