Just a poem/lyrics I came up with a while back for no good reason that I am now posting here for equally little reason. The japanese is probably WAY off(I used Babelfish.....that pretty much says it all, doesn't it?), but meh, it's something from me.
Translation:
All this time I spent on Earth
I felt small, frail and weak for all the wrong reasons
My main desire was to be stronger somehow,
but that too waned with time and recollection
Now I'm wondering what it really is,
The loose definition of "Strength".
It may not be so simple, you know.
Whether it be of sheer power, bravery, compassion, character, heart.
But which of these factors makes up The Essential Thing?
Maybe becoming "Stronger" could be a rhetorical development of one's own character.
Or in a more literal sense, could it mean being able to stand over any obstacle or challenge?
The windows that seperate me from the grander world entice my interest.
Perhaps if I could gain the "Strength" to transcend my current state of being, become something....More.
Strength of Body no, Strength of Courage no,
Strength of Power no, Strength of Self
Slow it down.
I've contemplated my points of weakness And scratched out the unimportant factors.
My mind is cleared of Self-doubt.
The opinions of others carried too much weight.
I things I thought I should be merely muddied the window
And this unrealistic fixation on "Strength" is only binding me.
The First, Second and Third windows are shining in a transparent glare to welcome me
And for the first time, I've found my own
"Strength."
Have fun tearing it apart.
