The Step Away

Orden Ogan


too brief to know my name 
i wander the roads of this life 
too weak to say "i'll quit this game" 
- so-called-feelings are holding me tight 
because fear replaces 
your wishes and solid mind 
and likely embraces 
your soul and dries your tears 
but finally it's me that i see 
in the mirror - a friend of mine 
and finally i can drop my fancy dress 
and live for the first and last time 
and finally i'm becoming 
by leaving this world behind 
and finally i can say "i quit this game" 
instead of flowing down so blind
