" I want to live on infinitely, if I can live on infinitely, everything will come true
But a lot of different things are cornering me
My remaining time to live, the coordinates of my dreams, my whereabouts-
Even though all of them are important things
It's fine, let's go eat something sweet for a bit here
And just by having that kind of thinking stopped, I felt smug
When I look back on the way I've walked on, it's only got bad things and I'm already sick of them
Brightening the things I touch- I wanted to live in that sort of way
I want to live on so terribly, all of the days when I only felt impatient seem to vanish
But even if I skipped them, I'd see; though wouldn't I get tired? Such contradictory
Thinking
It's like I hit my head somewhere while I didn't know it
Fine then, let's go to the hospital for a bit here
Isn't the medicine that can keep me awake forever left there..."
I sang the last note and got some scattering applause from the people watching me and those walking by me. Some people came up and put money in my guitar case. Then a little girl came up to me with her mom.
" Hi! Your songs are so amazing! Thank you!" she said and hugged me. I beamed down at her and ruffled her hair. Her mom glanced fondly at her daughter.
" She's been begging me to bring her to this corner every day to hear your songs," the mom tells me, " She has been bullied a lot lately because of the way she talks, but your songs have really helped her. Thank you for helping her!" The mom smiled gratefully at me and wiped her eye with a finger. I felt myself tearing up as well.
" Of course! It's always been my dream to help people with my music!" I told her, smiling back and ruffled the little girl's hair and hugged her.
I watched the little girl and her mom walk away, beaming at them. I was getting closer to my dream every day, making a difference in people's lives. That's what I really wanted. I want to help everyone I can while I'm here.
