Who am I?393Please respect copyright.PENANAKlpyLLeTm7
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.393Please respect copyright.PENANA6t4UHDcviF
For 23 years of my life, I used to be a follower—a good child to my sensitive family.
I was a husband to my mother and a son to my father—except for the duty of being a daughter to my mother.
I had forgotten my dreams. It felt like sacrificing myself just for my family.393Please respect copyright.PENANACtruc6AiwU
But I couldn’t continue down that path, so I decided to choose myself for the first time and try to do something for me.393Please respect copyright.PENANAuQiTvUMlMs
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.393Please respect copyright.PENANAHpWQPyQN0z
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,393Please respect copyright.PENANAYKvuSrsLUV
but I feel like I’m stuck.393Please respect copyright.PENANATTgTt9whGy
I don’t know what I want.393Please respect copyright.PENANAwNhyW3BZu2
I’m lost and filled with anger toward everything.
I used to sacrifice my dreams, but now—though I no longer want that—I’m still drowning in it...393Please respect copyright.PENANAOIeNhcNkrF
I want to have a dream.393Please respect copyright.PENANAcZFB4Qp6ow
Have a goal.393Please respect copyright.PENANAfq5Y7RJ67s
Try to achieve it...393Please respect copyright.PENANA0IrBm3E6Yk
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.393Please respect copyright.PENANAPqyed4PTFY
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,393Please respect copyright.PENANALgCcjcfQfd
I’m alone, trying to dream,393Please respect copyright.PENANAfHK5mGA5yN
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,393Please respect copyright.PENANAXZSvFQ6qEH
after a long journey,393Please respect copyright.PENANAIOpyLeBCOv
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...393Please respect copyright.PENANA4DBn9yXzs2
