Why Am I Suffocating?

Why is this happening to me?
What is this suffocation?
What is this feeling inside me?
Why can't I just be myself?
Why can't I be happy?
Why can't I enjoy myself?
Why do I always have to find reasons?
Why am I searching for them?
Why am I trying to satisfy myself with them?
Why do the things I enjoy become the sins of my life?
Why am I trying so hard to find reasons?
Why am I trying to become someone else?
Why do I feel like I am a sin?
Why do my deeds become sins?
Why do my thoughts become sins?
Why can't I be happy?

O existence, please tell me.
Please help me become myself.

Are You Scared?

Are you scared?
Don't be afraid.
There is nothing here to scare you.

I will be there with you.
I will become a shield to protect you,
even if I am scared,
even if I sense an unseen presence in the darkness.

When I am with you,
you become my power.
You become my strength.

Just being with you is enough for me.
It gives me the courage to stand my ground.

With my eyes open,
I will watch over you.

If you are scared,
I will embrace you with both arms open.

Don't be afraid.
