Stranger myself
Today I stared at my emotionless reflection for a long time
I stared but couldn’t find my old self
Even my eyes have changed
Maybe my bold words that came trembling
A smile is spreading on my face
The jokes too, maybe that cheerful joy
But deep down in my heart, there is a constant pain
Where are these traces I have left
Sometimes I miss my old self
My spotless, shining eyes
Even though the years have not changed
Today I didn’t even recognize my face
As if I had abandoned the whole world
Today I am in an incomprehensible state
Turning my face away from everyone
For my loved ones, I am a stranger
Even though the years have changed, these years
The hands that were placed on my shoulders and rubbed
But my heart remains on those paths
On the nights when my tears flowed.
If my loved ones come looking for me
I am in that year when I was alone
Tell them this is what I said
I am on the same path you left behind
