On the Way to My Goal
My goals were as high as mountains,
As if I could reach them with my hand.
With every step filled with hope,
My heart was full of faith and strength.
My path is long, yet full of light,
My dreams keep calling me ahead.
Even when difficulties become obstacles,
My prayers open the way for me.
Sometimes I feel tired and stop,
The light in my eyes begins to fade.
But an inner voice always tells me:
“Do not turn back, keep moving forward.”
One day I will reach the вершина,
And smile while looking back behind.
Those mountain-like dreams and goals,
One day I will hold with my own hands.
Celebrating Another Year of My Life
I do not know why tears fill my eyes,
My heart is overwhelmed with sorrow.
Even asking the reason feels difficult,
Harder than celebrating another year of my life.
The nights are silent, my pain rests in my eyes,
Even silence feels like my companion.
My heart trembles from tiny pieces of regret,
Yet hope still lives deep within my soul.
Rain knocks softly on the window,
As if it wishes to speak with me.
But telling it about my pain is difficult,
Harder than celebrating another year of my life.
Even the dawn feels strange to me,
The sun cannot warm my heart anymore.
A smile comes to my lips with difficulty,
Harder than celebrating another year of my life.
When I look into the mirror — the same question appears,
I have finished another year of my life.
Hidden regrets tremble within my gaze,
Harder than celebrating another year of my life.
Candles burn — shadows dance upon the wall,
Silent thoughts surround me again.
At this moment, I begin another year of life,
Harder than celebrating another year of my life.
