My life as a journey

Thugten Dorji Drukpa/ Denmark

My life as a journey

A journey from Bhutan to Nepal-

A cornered journey of freedom,

And then to Denmark-

An alternative journey of cowardice,

I know not where it ends;

How far I still to go

My legs are pinched,

My body is tired,

My heart is scared,

My wishes are raped,

And my hopes are locked in my bosom

As a corpse buried in land

Now I desire nothing,

Nowhere to go,

Just a peace, a deep sound sleep,

Let I take rest.
