Forgotten Fear

Fatmir Terziu

I have elapsed my childhood
To play I have forgotten.
I have forgotten to cry
To smile I have forgotten.

I have forgotten to wake up
To sleep, I have forgotten.
I have forgotten to die
To live I have forgotten.
I am in deep thought!

I have forgotten to kiss,
To kiss me, they have fear.
I am scared to go
To stay with me they are scared.
I have fear to keep silent,
To speak with me they are frightened.
I am scared!

I have been forgotten for a long time
I have been scared, for days, months and years,
By this forgotten fear.
