Loneliness

Painting by Katherine

On the basis of a letter from Mehmet Ali Ozturk (Turkey)

Loneliness

I am lost in the hearts of others, I can no longer find myself in the waves of the sea. Are these roads my destiny? I’m desolate, I’m alone, all alone! They cannot see my roses inside me. I walk in crowded places, in fact I’m stuck in a cage. I’m lying, how are you? Every house has a diUerent door! Actually they are like our identities. Some are full of violence, crying children; others are full of hopes trying to buy bread! Full of dreams that last forever! I’m lost in time, I’m leaving now!
