Jinsim; the Truth Untold
This garden is filled with blossoming
loneliness.
I tied myself to this sand castle filled with
thorns.
What is your name?
Do you even have a place to go?
Oh could you tell me?
I saw you hiding in this garden.
And I know your warmth is real.
Your hand picks the blue flowers.
I want to hold it but…
This is my destiny.
Don’t smile on me, light on me
Because I can’t get to you.
There’s no name to call.
You know that I can’t show you me, give you
me.
I can’t show you my weakness, so I’m putting
on a mask to go see you but I still want you.
A flower that resembles you blossomed in this
garden of loneliness.
I wanted to give it to you as I take off this
stupid mask.
But I know this can’t go on forever.
I must hide because I’m hideous.
I’m afraid, so pathetic. I’m so afraid.
In the end, will you leave me too?
So I’m putting on a mask to go see you.
What I can do is in this garden, in this
world,
Make a pretty flower that resembles you
blossom,
Then breathe as the person you know but I
still want you, I still want you.
Maybe back then, if I had just a little more
courage and stood before you,
Would everything be different now?
I’m crying at this sandcastle that’s
disappearing and breaking down as I look at this broken mask
And I still want you,
But I still want you,
But I still want you,
And I still want you.
