The ghost taught me

With the rope of injustice

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

A shy ghost hovering in the fields

And a lonely virgin spirit that loves to roam

And an ignorant heart holding on to the rope of injustice

Hatred... envy... and a poisoned heart

So who will be my friend when I need him

Protect me from stress and depression?

I am miserable, my friend, and worried

So who will support me with his hands so that I can stand?

Who will give me the patience to fast

And be in a fortress of poisons?

Who is this that helps me fly like the stars

Those who made me a loser and defeated?

Oh my misfortune, you have taken away all my rights and made me wander

And filled my world with all kinds of worries?

Who has a solution for me to be among the doves

And so that the speech becomes clear, frank and understandable?

Don't blame me anymore, my feelings have become nonexistent

Since my free conscience became a broken heart

I lost my feelings and suppressed my hatred

Who will sacrifice for me and make himself suppressed?

Who will give me the nectar of sealed jasmine

So that I can end my life and bear the blame for everything?

Elegy
