Who am I?111Please respect copyright.PENANAzctEVx52kg
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.111Please respect copyright.PENANAgXE5tlFhui
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.111Please respect copyright.PENANA5kelY3RYc4
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.111Please respect copyright.PENANAkrWey7dGod
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,111Please respect copyright.PENANAhwZmc622wG
but I feel like I’m stuck.111Please respect copyright.PENANAkzw9L1pIX1
I don’t know what I want.111Please respect copyright.PENANARmnvaDu6fj
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...111Please respect copyright.PENANASNIwVDrC7t
I want to have a dream.111Please respect copyright.PENANATjL2hbyWB4
Have a goal.111Please respect copyright.PENANA12HUoyBHFN
Try to achieve it...111Please respect copyright.PENANAOQPkbfBq5j
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.111Please respect copyright.PENANA2zmholIgLA
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,111Please respect copyright.PENANA0CQJcADUq2
I’m alone, trying to dream,111Please respect copyright.PENANAJgETFPI2kO
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,111Please respect copyright.PENANA2oLT7OWPjB
after a long journey,111Please respect copyright.PENANATEGetQzsCv
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...111Please respect copyright.PENANAhSX8ksmNl4
