Was my home built above the endless abyss
Was my home built above the endless abyss,
Why do I feel beneath my steps the corpses of ancestors whispering in silence,
Like invisible strings tightening around my neck, reminding me,
Mocking the memory that I am merely an echo of them, a speck of dust.
The place I cherished as a sanctuary was just a cemetery of regrets,
Why do the walls still resonate with rebellion and rage, forgotten flames,
Taunting me with fires that burn unseen in every corner of my being,
Telling me I am just a thread in the hem of an old tapestry.
Do not fight fate, the wind whispers through cracks and time,
For every step I take is a dance with shadows, with the past,
A game of light and darkness, where each memory hurts,
But in the depths, it is just a story that needs to be told, heard, accepted.
