I walked and walked and it seems I have been doing it forever
My path is so long and so far that I cannot carry myself any more
It seems that each time I take a step the sand of shame covers me from head to toe
Cant walk can’t speak and all I can hear is the word failure
Tried I have, trying I have been to get up on my own feet and to wake up from this nightmare
And I don’t know what's gonna happen to me
They are staring at me already deciding my fate
They smile and wave pretending to be nice to me
But with each scornful look they give me I know what they
Think of me
Will I survive or will I die in this earth unremembered I ask myself
I take a deep breath savoring the last scent of this day
And close my eyes giving up to death of being worthless
And as the sand covers my lung instead of air
a small voice in my head said to me open your eyes
When I did one more glance to this world I am leaving behind I said
Surprise I see that all along it’s in school I have been
Dreaming on my desk while the teacher spoke in English
Then it made sense to me that all that I need is hope for
Tomorrow is another day to stomp on failure
« return.
