Escape Of My Youth
In the journey of life
I stayed a lonely prisoner,
Keeping dreams and hopes
I couldn't realize that
When I opened my eyes,
There were only tears
And hopes were shattered
My youth also escaped,
Along with my childhood and boyhood
Ah, in the shortness of breath
Every beat of my heart was restless
I couldn't escape from it
The tiresome journey is still on
With the imprisonment of a thirsty soul
In the rotten body
Dry leaves are falling
In fear of the dry season
Death is inevitable
One time, the time will come
It is a strange friendship
Between life and death.
