Life on hold
With my roots uprooted
Swinging like a pendulum
Exile…home… exile… home…exile…
Where my culture is appropriated
Threatened with erosion, nay extinction
Torn between two paradoxical worlds
My tortured soul exists
In a state of permanent suspension
Life on hold
With my heart torn apart
I dangle in between two realms
Earth… heaven… earth… heaven… earth…
My body is here but my soul is far away
Running after my beloved’s mirage
I am endangered of annihilation
Frayed between two impossible worlds
My tormented core wavers
In a state of permanent suspension
Life on hold
With my memory shredded into pieces
I hang in the hue of non-existence
Past… future… past… future… past…
My brain is working
But my mind has gone missing
I am forcibly pushed towards insanity
Worn out between two dream worlds
My agonized being lingers
In a cosmos of thirteen dimensions
In a state of permanent suspension
Life on hold
