Who am I?175Please respect copyright.PENANATziRcIrFFu
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsBWxNvhlCf
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.175Please respect copyright.PENANA9yibamf7v3
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.175Please respect copyright.PENANALGmBmcmPbC
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,175Please respect copyright.PENANAesQoPf77Ii
but I feel like I’m stuck.175Please respect copyright.PENANARKYvNHHooP
I don’t know what I want.175Please respect copyright.PENANAMDeyN8UJVf
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...175Please respect copyright.PENANARoHLDJgpsq
I want to have a dream.175Please respect copyright.PENANAhWljYaEkWb
Have a goal.175Please respect copyright.PENANAsbJVx1c18f
Try to achieve it...175Please respect copyright.PENANA1dozIQaf4x
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.175Please respect copyright.PENANAIKhmOeQjcp
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,175Please respect copyright.PENANAsbgoMtLQcM
I’m alone, trying to dream,175Please respect copyright.PENANA26OoDtSADE
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,175Please respect copyright.PENANAR7K8FCFq7e
after a long journey,175Please respect copyright.PENANACFooa1SstX
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...175Please respect copyright.PENANA8hQ5VtR3HL
