My Destiny

The favor you bestowed upon me by bringing me into this world 
Has long since transformed into torment and sighs. 
I have always sought to find a meaning in life,
But too wounded by the world, I have lost myself forever. 

Too immersed in my human nature,
I gathered wealth from all that I encountered,
And then, swollen with pride from what I achieved,
I wandered aimlessly, losing my way. 

For a time, I stalked my treasure,
A vast sea of trifles and nothingness. 
And bored and weary from waiting,
I decided from today not to gather anything. 

I have killed my destiny out of fear of death 
When I decided not to suffer anymore. 
I severed the ties of all that was human in me,
And quieter than ever, I slipped into another world.
