Entering an unknown emptiness
An image of a timid small me was there
People around me were eager to talk
So fast, so aggressive
I was a stranger searching for a light
To fit in.

Arduous task in vain
Frustration shaded my way
I went home with shedding tears

Loneliness, heavy burden,
Like rising tides
Choking, paddling
I am struggling
Almost swallowed.
That was hell!

Lights from angel
Open my heart, open my mind, open my eyes
Leading my way
I am breathing
Living a life
I was ever lost
Now, I found my way.
