Painting © Yuhu Tama
Each night I set out,
to the world of my dream,
in search of that route,
where peace would gleam.
Yet, here I was back again,
to the thorny side of the river.
“Am I still sane?”
The thought made me shiver.
I looked and searched,
not another soul in sight.
I fell as I lurched,
crying at my own plight.
Submitting myself to this fake
reality of nightmare,
I sank into the silvery lake,
drowning in the fear of my own snare.
A distant call resounded,
pulling me out of this trance.
By glittering lights, I was surrounded.
Life offered me another chance.
Carried by the light,
my feet touched the ground.
Now on the other side, I stood, shining bright.
“Myself”, I had finally found.
With words of ice,
I had stabbed my heart,
I now break this chain of lies,
to give myself a fresh start.
The scene is no longer eerie,
I’ve finally set myself free.
Every dream can now become a reality,
for light and warmth resides within me.
-Yuhu!
