I was born in a snowstorm
I assume that it was cold
There are no witnesses from that day
And I grew up fast
from my childhood that was all
I was born already beaten
There was nowhere to run
You did not dare to walk
You took cover, kept yourself hidden
There is nothing here that can make you understand
Let the past be forgotten
I lied, broke promises, it is an inbuilt fault
You cannot set honour that does not exist at stake
I see a future where
I could be something big
So blow a kiss and fill my quota
Then you think loud
and scream silent
And hold your breath through the monologue
that you wrote for your inner voice
You sounded exactly like Ishmael
Do you remember Ishmael
I am your Ishmael
You said I long back to 1997
I said if you want to give up it is your choice
I was born in a hospital
where people mostly came to die
Who cares about your 90s
It took 25 years of misunderstanding
It took 25 years to even come this far
I see a future where
I could be something big
So blow a kiss and fill my quota
Then you think silent
and scream loud
Memorising the whole fucking monologue
that you wrote for your inner voice
You sounded exactly like Ishmael
Do you remember Ishmael
I am your Ishmael
