Trapped In Life

I’m not that sort; I’m different;
My nature is like that
Not because I want to;
I just was born like that.

Whether my curse or my destiny,
The wall surrounds me;
Life is not available for me;
I’m trapped in life without the key.

And other people’s destinies
Every day pass by around me,
And I can only stand and see
Through the wall surrounding me.

I live my life that way
And hit the wall from day to day,
But I have broken not a brick;
Maybe am I just weak?

The Beast in the castle:
That’s all about me;
Is there my Belle in the world
Who could see real me?

I live, not touching life;
By only seeing I know life,
And through the wall I say to life,
“Why do I live without life?”
