study1

You study, you strive without help, without support.
You rejoice, you cry and you share
this magnificent game,
discovering after just a second
that it may be only a misunderstanding,
a beauty that lasted far too little.

Now look yourself in the face without fear:
that wrinkle widens, but slowly,
with the hand of your honesty you smooth it out and it fades away.

You believed in it, you got angry, you sacrificed.
I see it in your eyes: a flash of pride
that holds a meaning inside your heart.

The story that tasted like grapes still clinging to the vine,
the story that had made you dream,
now wrestles with you and knocks you back to the ground.

But don’t think you’ve stumbled: you will rise again
with the love you carry within you,
with love as fragile as glass,
yet so strong and sincere.

Now look yourself in the face without fear:
that wrinkle widens, but slowly,
with the hand of your honesty you smooth it out and it fades away.

Your journey will go on without fear,
perhaps disenchanted and a little disappointed.
But true people will stand by you and be the cure,
even if your path feels somewhat confused.

It doesn’t matter: it will not tarnish who you are.

Now look yourself in the face without fear:
that wrinkle widens, but slowly,
with the hand of your honesty you smooth it out and it fades away.
