Part two
07/ 我的爱
TO MY LOVE
Thank you
For leaving characters on the pages of my life
That others cannot comprehend
Because
The pen is a gear of time
Writing in the air
Passing through my breath
Seeping into every corner
08/真相
THE TRUTH
You laugh as the soul is hung up and beaten
You deserve the beating, deserve death, deserve to be bullied
For you were not born with a silk sash tied around your waist
Without an umbrella, on rainy days
You are destined to be drenched
Carrying your drenched soul, you search
For truth
What do you see?
Empty bodies wandering the streets

09 遇见自己
MEETING MYSELF
By Anna keiko
A door unknown
You are led inside
To where night has yet to fall
In There, you meet yourself
You tread along a steep, winding mountain path
No flowers in sight, nor does it lead to the other shore
With threads of thorns
Weave an indescribable language

10/艺术
ART
With the frenzy of solitude, they burn the horizon,
With hands of pain, they daub walls of indifference.
They need to live,
Need to sigh amidst the colors.

11/ 生活
LIFE
How to conceal suffering
And write the word "life" among blossoms,
To escape the fears of deep night,
Where tears become perfume
And pillows overflow with fragrance,
Uttering words no one hears.
This is no mystery-
Some words
Were never meant for history’s page.

12/灵魂居所
SOUL DWELLING
The abode of my soul-
its infinite windows stretch beyond poetry,
that eyesight cannot penetrate.
beyond even the noblest gates
There must be a Countless rooms,
like the mysterious homeland.
Its visitors resemble the tenderness of summer,
However, when I reach out my little hand
All the doors are closed.
