Who am I?211Please respect copyright.PENANAxrDi5FLscN
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.211Please respect copyright.PENANAuFS4Ci9R2C
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.211Please respect copyright.PENANAJziM4yXQff
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.
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.211Please respect copyright.PENANAFHFXxYqWvt
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,211Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nowrznrr4
but I feel like I’m stuck.211Please respect copyright.PENANAYvl9dEGgvg
I don’t know what I want.211Please respect copyright.PENANAX46jGs4ekj
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...211Please respect copyright.PENANA9m7vZPVJnX
I want to have a dream.211Please respect copyright.PENANA7FJYtm12ab
Have a goal.211Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zl7UGVBUt
Try to achieve it...211Please respect copyright.PENANAsxZswsjhLj
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.211Please respect copyright.PENANAA5gb6mxbAB
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,211Please respect copyright.PENANAxKCMqNCHQj
I’m alone, trying to dream,211Please respect copyright.PENANAV71aAeJ69G
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,211Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fj1RE4wSA
after a long journey,211Please respect copyright.PENANAa6AT1vclPJ
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...211Please respect copyright.PENANAZPWhMrHokt
