Today
for the first time in a long while
happy
everything is fine
for so long I have
been depressed
hated myself
wallowed in self-pity
kept whining
that no one likes me
now I feel again
some kind of hope
some kind of joy

today
I found, after a long time
the road to Fantasy
as a child I visited there often
but then I grew up
lost the road
today I was there
the whole day
it was hard to come out
to the ordinary world
I want to go back
soon I will go too
there, where you have
kind dragons
a stout Indian boy
a beautiful princess who is ill
and in the midst of all this
a little plump boy in spectacles
Bastian Balthasar Bux

today I am happy
the first snow fell
everything was beautiful and white
if I could have
I would have danced in the snow
made snow angels
built a snowman
why does one have to
become an adult?
if you had seen me
what would you have done?
stood next to me?
laughing at your silly
little goblin girl?
hugged me?

today
I am happy
I am in love with you
