A Song for XX will always be the most poignant to me. it's literally a song that changed my entire life:
Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
...When will I grow up?
How long can I stay a child?
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."
I didn't want those words at all.
So I pretended not to understand.
You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.
I thought it was the same as being rejected.
I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.
