From inside the mirror: "Hello, it's morning already" As always, with the worst expression in her face An awkward smile, awkward bed head, awkward mannerisms All detestable This is so unreasonable

I have as many things I want to say as anyone else But I can't turn a single one of them into actual words Today is another day of looking downward and mumble half-words "Oh, you can't even say hi" "How sad"

The dogwood blooming in the garden is pretty And I just keep looking at it jealous I, in comparison, am a really worthless girl If I could just disappear

Weirdly enough, the "normal things" are the hardest in the world Not being able to respond to a single word Makes me an idiot, I cry I became hated for repeated blinding misunderstandings I'm withering away before I bloom I can't find any words for the future In wear a strange, almost scared face I can't try to running away like I usually do, I can't I keep my mouth shut out of embarrassement This is just so detestable

There are people who can laugh in a dignifiedly bloomed voice Exchanging words like flowers A voice inside the mirror criticized me as they did: "... I just can't do this" "I'm sorry"

I just look, jealous, as this world that perfectly illustrates this So to not disturb it, I... What should I do? I want to lose this But I can't. Aaah

My overflowing self-identity was horribly miserable and dirty "I hope no one finds out", I say crying in the corner of my room "You don't really need to lose it", I hear a sudden voice say It sounded like magic For some reason I can't find words to describe it Don't be afraid, unleash your voice What you want to say "Say it, say it" I released a wrong-sounding "cry" Really, I'm such an idiot

After all this struggle, what reached in the "future" was Yes, a more lively world And I, slowly becoming an adult, keep changing, embracing specially my unchanging feelings

Weirldly enough, "remembering" is the hardest thing in the world I keep saying the words I don't want to forget as to not lose them Once you become able smile together with someone some day in this world, that'll feel great Thinking like this, it's possible to find reasons for the future Comb your hair and let's go outside A new flower will look pretty today If you just say "Hello" back to the bloomed flower inside the mirror.
