Why
by Bing Hua
Tr. by Liu Mei

Why are birds singing in delight
While I grow quiet day and night
My heart holds words I long to share
Yet silence binds me unaware

Why is the stream rushing swift and free
While fear and doubt keep holding me
I long to cross where dreams reside
Yet dare not brave the other side

Weary and worn I touch the night
Alone with shadows out of sight
I wear a smile but tears still fall
The Muse no longer heeds my call

Where oh where did my joy stray
Did dopamine just fade away
Excitement flees and in its place
Emptiness now fills the space

I ask again what went so wrong
The answer lost I sing my last song
