I am no one
Transparent, meaningless, unaware
Child of the world
A lover of the emptiness, the













chaos, the struggle
Feeling insignificant about everything
Needing nothing, nobody, only certainty
Giving up myself, my mind, my soul
Fearing knowledge, change, and freedom
I would like to see
I would like to dream
Instead of remaining a servant to society
I am no one
