Red hair I inherited from my mom
Tied into two bundles
Braided, swaying
I still wonder why
Even now
I don’t understand yet
Quietly standing up
Gripping the scissors
I cut off my braids
It was a very clear day
Thinking I didn’t need a future
I felt powerless
Unable to choose my words
Only the scent of the way back home
Was gentle
I felt like I could live
That way
Someone was laughing in the classroom
It was a very clear day
Without hair, this time
I tried cutting my arm
I cut as much as I could
Feeling warmth
With my bloodied arm
I was dancing
You were no longer there
There was nothing there
The sun was dazzling
It was a very clear day
I couldn’t even cry, too much
The earth is endless
Everything is beautiful
In white clothes, from afar
I sang a little without lining up in a procession
If it had rained like today, I’m sure I would have cried
It was a very clear day
Thinking I didn’t need a future
I felt powerless
Unable to choose my words
Only the scent of the way back home
Was gentle
I felt like I could live
That way
Someone was laughing in the classroom
It was a very clear day
