Nineteen Years Old

Nineteen years I breathed in delight
Embraced by sorrow, embraced by heartache
They never call me mature
Because I stay curled up crying for no reason
In the corner of the room in one small beam
And I grumbled to my feet
And cussing at the knuckles
I don't know why I'm crying
On the day when everyone flattering me congratulated me, applauded
Perhaps because of the burden of the heart
But the sky does not see me suffering
And the engines kept roaring

Nineteen years I saw a good world
But covered viciously
My grief has dried up
Because I cry for no reason
My shadows merge with the light
And the base of my lips paint happiness
I will be mature, tomorrow
For I have pitied the soul and tears
