Drenched by sorrow and grief,

I carry a heavy heart with me

What else can a hopeless soul do,

But to bow to her ill-fated destiny?

I am but only a girl,

Dreaming about her happily ever-afters.

Hands together and heads down,

My fingers crossed as I wish for the better

Staring blankly, I breathe deep,

Submitted and acknowledging defeat

Dragging myself into the deepest pits,

I see your hand reaching out to me

Fighting against myself, and those against me

For I’m neither here nor there

With my worn-out body and rusty mind,

I fell with the wind

And just like a dead leaf falling back to its roots,

I’m going back to the place where I began
