I've never wanted to feel like this

Li Yanmey

I've never wanted to feel like this,

To be emotional and broken.

I've never thought that I'll be helpless,

But here I am.

 

Since childhood hear I'm like no others.

Since childhood feel that I'm alone.

Since childhood: "You look like your father".

Bullshit.

 

And now I don't know who I am.

A gothic girl with a stack of books?

Or someone else? These thoughts again

Ruin my life.

 

I wanna feel, but not the pain.

I wanna live, but… how? Tell me.
