Not having other people around for today's fall–

Is making me stew negative thoughts even more.

It was as if, eternal silence had frozen this place without a call.

It can't be helped, I'll find a way to thaw this heavy toll.


I thought I'd make good use of my time.

Looking at this pond, talking to me like water drops in rhyme.

"What kind of special skills does it take to be so glum?"

"World's difficult enough, why bother to go succumb?

No need to add more—negativity is what we'll ignore.


I feel like I'm gonna fade away, and yet...

The wind on the coast flips the directions during the night and at day.

And that moment the wind leaps, it becomes calm.

After a bit, another breeze will come.

"You're experiencing a lull—that's how it is, young man."


I have a feeling that the future will be blowing new winds.

But what does it even mean?

Let's stop this thoughts and whines,

I'll get up now, so I don't get stuck in between.
