When I was staring at the dark abyss
When I was standing alone helpless
with my dreams shattered
with my hopes defeated
betrayed by people full of deceit
crushed by the clutches of the defeat
When I was desperate for a ray of hope
When I would die for a day of love
The whole world stood still
mocking me indifferently
laughing at me incessantly
finding joy in my pain
seeking humor in my burn
Waiting for a hand to wipe my tears
My eyes have turned barren
Waiting for a heart to give some warmth
I have turned cold
I survived with struggle
I will be stronger as I heal
This time definitely more evil than before
I don’t care if I am called a Joker
World should not count on me
For it never stood with me when I was in need
