I better go

tears 

agony

obstacles

daily setbacks

beatings

Now or tomorrow?

I already know

I rarely experience peace.

Is it because I'm an orphan?

I've been maltreated.

My uncle's wife constantly abuses me.

Since my grandmother died

She was the one taking good care of me.

I've never met my mom.

She passed away.

after giving birth to me.

I better go.

I'll find a location.

I'll find tranquility.

I'll meet new people.

Even if we're not related,

Perhaps they'll treat me better.

better than my relatives.

I hope Mom's spirit will guide me.

She'll show me the way.

I will live in peace.

I'm walking 

until the next village.

My journey seems to be long.

There's no one on the road.

I'm all alone.

I'm not even sure.

where I'm headed.

But I'm hopping. 

for an excellent destination

with great people

and greener pastures.
