Impressions on life

When my world is breaking to pieces,
What shall I do with the shreds?

Nothing happens the way it is supposed to be.
Nothing is going on easily.

We are struggling hard, trying to fight our way out.
Fighting our way out of misery, out of poverty.

Feeling like a frog in a milk jar, struggling
Struggling – when will the milk become butter?

There is a light at the horizon,
I am walking towards this light.

I am getting closer and it is shadowed again
By huge grey clouds – where did the light disappear?

When my world is breaking to pieces,
What shall I do with the shreds?

To many shreds, to many shards …
They are forming mountains.

I just can’t get over these mountains,
The mountains hide the sun, hide the light.

Some people say: you will grow with your task!
How shall I grow if I lack the power?

A plant needs sunshine to grow.
There is no light around me!

How shall I grow in the shadow?
How shall I grow alone in the desert?

When my world is breaking to pieces,
What shall I do with the shreds?

Chores

Never ending…
Laundry
Dishes
Cooking
Cleaning
Shopping

Never ending…
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday

Even
Saturday
Sunday

Never ending
Chores

Nobody there to help
Nobody there taking responsibility

Everybody is demanind

Feed me
Give me fresh clothes
Care for me

Once you think
It is decreasing
It is getting easier
It is almost done

The very next day
It starts all over again


Never

Ending

Chores

Alone

Alone again
Another Saturday – being alone
All the plans I made, did not work – again.

Dressing up,
Making up
Want to go dancing

Alone …

I don’t want to go out
All alone.

I don’t want to go dancing
All alone.

Need some friends to give me company
To be with me
Have fun with me

There are so many people outside
In the rain
All alone.

Nobody really cares
Nobody really minds
The loneliness

We all need somebody to comfort us
To be with us

Nobody wants to be

Alone.
