Everyday I ask myself,
why is it only me and no one else.
to share my sorrow,
to share my pain,
why do i feel, only to me the troubles descend
and the path of happiness forever bends
into the darkness of suffering,
why does it seem like i can never rise but only
deeper i can sink.


I feel in every direction, there is only hatred
to move further, to take a risk, is
falling into a checkmate.
i feel my life speaking, wary and tired,
saying, I am jinxed,
to never win but always fall,
to never combat but nevertheless lose
and to never recover from the pain of it all.

But i see hope,
A distant gleam of the brightest light,
and as i die of sorrow, suffering,
Agony and misfortune, i call to it, i call to the
Lord and cry, "God save my Soul!"
