Homeruiner - Thränenkind

«If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams

And endeavors to live the life which he has imagined

He will meet with a success unexpected in common hours

In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear

less complex

And solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.»

Nowhere at home

Always on the run

I set fire to every house in every town

All the places that offered me warmth—burnt down

There is no safety for me

A shelter I have none

I am always running—never looking back

I just smell fire no matter how hard I try to breathe fresh air

Maybe I’ll find the strength to leave my past behind

To break free—to run towards the sun

But maybe I won’t have to walk so many miles

Maybe I just need to stop running away and open my eyes

One day I will be welcomed home—by nothing but ruins

Just withered shades

Burnt down long ago

No smoke will be polluting the air

But frail green seeds will come up among the ashes everywhere
