So far away from home,
among the faces unknown.
sitting lonely on a darned chair,
speaking less, observing more
toward the rush of people.
Nowhere to run, fences everywhere,
and no one to talk, I'm just killing time here.
Eyes are glued toward the clock
as the day seems to be dragging itself slowly,
and I'm just waiting for tomorrow's greeting.
Next to me, a happy child and her father,
curled up together, and just like me,
all waiting for this sluggish day to end soon.
As I look at the innocent child, she smiles,
and escapes from her father's arms, comes in front of me,
runs and plays, asks innocent questions, and I, ignorantly,
behaving and playing with her just like a child.
Tomorrow, we'll part from each other
and rush toward each other's destiny,
and again, another call of loneliness,
yet another search for a company.
