Tonight I broke down
And you know what?
Hallelujah!
I was mourning
I was grieving
I was bitter
I was pacing
I was shouting -
This is a nightmare
This is dystopia
I can't even imagine
The other side -
I tried out some singing
And my voice was so tired
Trying to remember
How to sing
When it used to just know
And I said, I have lost it
I'm no longer that person
And I said it through tears
I could not describe it
The way I was feeling
If I was just empty
Or filled up with fears
I said I would give anything
To get the fuck outta here
Go see my friends
Go see my friends
In a room full of people
God, a room full of people
Just a room full of people
And then I went outside
And stared at the snow
The perfect manifestation
Of how everything is
I know it's alright here
I know there is beauty
But that isn't the point,
No, that isn't the point
And then I started laughing
Though my insides were hurting
And I was still crying,
But I was laughing too
Because I suddenly realised
If I'm this upset
About not being that person,
Then I must be that person
Or it wouldn't be hurting
And I was so glad then,
For all of that pain
Because I am that person
And I will be again
And I remembered an old man
Outside of an old bar
said when you are laughing
And crying at the same time
That's when you know
You've hit on the truth
God, I miss old bars
With wise drunken old men
But I am that person
I will find them again.

(Orit Shimoni)
