Laughter

Peeking into the mirror, I can't find a single feather
But I can hear the chirping of birds longing for the sky
I've decided to break free from this abrasive city
I'll only accept words and feelings that try to hold me back
Thank you very much

Things to lose or give up
Certainly all seem to shine
But I chose for myself
To discard the right to regret

Will my wings move? Can I really fly?
Without saying yes or no, I gazed straight at the sky
The bird's name broke the laughter cage
Not yes or no, just bursting out with a voice

The me from yesterday, hugging my knees
Overcame the laughter and kept singing
A song to declare victory to myself

Questioning the true righteousness in the strength of the wind
Sometimes straying from the path into other birds' routes
In the turbulence, searching for glimmers of light
Even if it was a detour, I'll imagine
What is right for me and cherish it

Not a person of integrity, nor a successful one
I just want to be someone who can always be proud of the present
Embracing such hopes and drawing a vision of the future
I want to live without letting go

Can you see reality? Can you guarantee it?
Without being able to say yes or no, I was stuck in the past
The laughter that carried me on its back overturned expectations
It's not about the goal or the distance, but the voice that constantly echoed
That light that turned into a searchlight on lonely nights
I finally realized now

In an unprecedented heavy rain, the umbrella is meaningless
But my heart still burns
Flapping faster than the roar of the sea, stronger than lightning
Taking flight towards battle

Will my wings move? Can I really fly?
Without saying yes or no, I gazed straight at the sky
The bird's name broke the laughter cage
Not yes or no, just excited to fly with that voice

The me from yesterday, hugging my knees
Overcame the laughter and kept singing
A song to declare victory to myself
