Who am I?176Please respect copyright.PENANAj8wXodEh59
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.176Please respect copyright.PENANAaDprRgcoJi
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAQdVzuukCoC
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.176Please respect copyright.PENANAXqeGcr0IWl
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,176Please respect copyright.PENANARuxMEdRggY
but I feel like I’m stuck.176Please respect copyright.PENANAtxfeGksjZJ
I don’t know what I want.176Please respect copyright.PENANASeYCdEJSkF
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...176Please respect copyright.PENANALWq9NDdHKC
I want to have a dream.176Please respect copyright.PENANAU4Kfrwq8d1
Have a goal.176Please respect copyright.PENANAFZuYKb00Em
Try to achieve it...176Please respect copyright.PENANANcoy3AqHF6
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6twLZSgTn
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,176Please respect copyright.PENANAFS2T0u3cqd
I’m alone, trying to dream,176Please respect copyright.PENANAtWoVZrTfoH
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,176Please respect copyright.PENANA4V8nNawdr4
after a long journey,176Please respect copyright.PENANAjvdEjMvnrt
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...176Please respect copyright.PENANA4M7sN5FH8L
