How can I forget?
How can I cope
When I haven't yet found a single explanation that satisfies my heart?
How can I reconcile with a mind
That breaks me the closer I get to it?
I pray to God to sleep…
To sleep for a long time, without thoughts, without conflict,
Because my excessive thinking demolishes my inner self stone by stone.
Before sleep, I feel as if my head is being hammered,
As if my mind were made of glass,
Shattering,
Then I wake up to find it mended
Only to be ready for another break.
As if the night tells me each time:
"I will make you suffer more,
And break harder."
So how can I befriend my mind?
When I sometimes feel…
That it hates me.
I wish I had never entered this complicated world,
I wish I had remained a child with cartoons,
Where my biggest worry was a new color,
And my greatest happiness was the opening theme song.
There…I would fly without wings,
And dream without fear.
If only I could leave,
Not to escape… but to survive,
To simply open the window of life,
And breathe freedom for the first time
Again…

I will write my feelings as they are, without masks…
I don't know if it's an illusion dwelling within me, or thoughts that creep like smoke into my head,
stealing my time, defeating my well-being, and leaving me trembling like a branch in the wind.
I feel as though I'm drowning in an ocean of fear,
a nameless, featureless fear, yet it devours everything.
I know that everything is in God's hands,
the Merciful One who created me,
and I know that He is more merciful to me than I am to myself,
more merciful than my own father and mother…
And yet, something within me weakens me,
something like a whisper in my ear,
so I believe the fear and disbelieve in peace,
and every time I think, I break even more.
My reality is filled with gazes that watch me,
staring at me as if they see my weakness,
frightening me to the point of trembling.
What is this I feel?
Disappointment? Pressure?
Is this pain?
Is this torment?
Or is what's in my heart broader than any definition?
