I have no place.
I belong nowhere.
I am unknown, thus unknown I shall remain.
I walked once under the light,
but only lasted a brief moment.
They pushed me into the valley of pain before I could feel its warmth.
They made me wander endlessly, in search of the meaning of why I am.
But there’s no explanation. There’s no meaning.
There’s only darkness and emptiness.
I can… I can feel it.
I can feel its cruel grasp.
Restraining me, stopping me from moving past its domains.
I try to lay my hands on my heart,
to fight against it, to feel something…
But there’s nothing. Only emptiness.
Wait… is someone here?
Can you hear me?
Are you… caring to reach my hand?
… No. Leave.
I must endure this pain in solitude.
I was born in the shadows, thus in the shadows I shall remain.
I try. I swear that I try.
But my efforts are never enough. The light is too far away.
… Is it running from me?
Please, if there’s someone listening to my words…
Find me.
Find me and set me free.
I don’t want to stay here.
I want to live.
I want to… exist.
But I can only dream.
That’s the only thing she lets me.
