Retrospection on my life...Losing faith in life after having been deceived
Years have passed by,
My dreams have remained just dreams.
So difficult it is to hold back my tears.
As the course of time passes by,
I begin to understand the true meaning of time.
It is only in good moments
That time flies.
In bad moments, the ticking of every second
Is felt like an eternity

As I realise that my destiny is not in my hands,
I begin to lose faith in life,
I start to feel the power within me burning off.
Burning my soul along with it.
What remains is nothing but mere resignation,
A life with no beliefs, no dreams, no ideals.
Never have I felt such an emptiness within me.

Now that I expect nothing from life,
I desperately struggle with it,
To meet my responsibilities,
To fulfill my duties.
I try not to deceive those who believe in me
Since I've understood what deception is,
Having believed in life,
And having been deceived by it.
