Who am I?159Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1YLDHKKu2
This question trills through my mind every second of the day.159Please respect copyright.PENANAv0ECisfM7e
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.159Please respect copyright.PENANAgUeCFVG5NC
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.159Please respect copyright.PENANAlDSgpncHcs
I came to Germany from a faraway country to study and find myself.159Please respect copyright.PENANAwGi7QVuSng
It’s been a year here in this beautiful city,159Please respect copyright.PENANAU1L9TQeLj0
but I feel like I’m stuck.159Please respect copyright.PENANADMNBzw5NV5
I don’t know what I want.159Please respect copyright.PENANAlTYepeNk6Z
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...159Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSx5gxjtr
I want to have a dream.159Please respect copyright.PENANACywFi0JSQD
Have a goal.159Please respect copyright.PENANADF5jLVv9M0
Try to achieve it...159Please respect copyright.PENANA1CHZ6daRgj
But I can’t.
When I open my eyes, I don’t know what I want.159Please respect copyright.PENANAfXjlxDorwA
I know I want to want something—but what?
In the silence of night, in the darkness,159Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yu7Foaenk
I’m alone, trying to dream,159Please respect copyright.PENANAePZKDf1bGt
but my mind can’t seem to dream...
But I’m here,159Please respect copyright.PENANAXPWS7VWk2m
after a long journey,159Please respect copyright.PENANAyBtWIpHKBT
that I’ll write in tiny, minuscule parts...159Please respect copyright.PENANAR4C8rzcusK
