I only landed here
From the starry night 

I didn’t know in what wars my skin would find to fight me

Didn’t pray for the gods who only seem to want to smite me


I just came here with a song

Without words

I didn’t know that the tongues of men would try to divide me

Never asked for their binding laws to entwine or misguide me


My eyes still see everything blurry

In the ocean 

Without fins or wings, the floaty air waters freely confuse me

Never know whether the sky or the depths need better to excuse me


I find my feet useless 

And all that I have

On the dirt that holds me, reaching out to the people who hurry me

Only waits for my day to end, and for fate to, with a strong wind, bury me
