Why am I crying?
Why am I
lost?
Why did I stop?
Please tell me
When will I grow up?
How long
can I stay a child?
Where have I come running from?
Where am I running
to?
I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I
could have any hope for the future.
They always said I was a strong
child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."
I didn't
want those words at all.
So I pretended not to understand.
Why are you
laughing?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please tell
me.
When did you become strong?
Since when have you felt weakness?
How
long must you wait
for the day you understand to come?
The sun is
rising. I must go soon.
I can't stay in the same place forever.
You
will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.
I thought it was the same
as being rejected.
At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.
I
definitely knew too much.
They always said I was a strong child.
They
praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."
The more people said
things like that,
the more even laughing became agony.
I was born
alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is
appropriate.
