Cehennem Ve Cennet Poem by Berna Lovrek

To you, my way of acting feels like the ourburst
of a devilish disposition - 'şeytana'.
But don't you see, that I'm just trying not to drown?

You wanted me to be an angel - 'melek'.
But angels dwell in the realm of death.

All my life I was trying to be gentle-hearted.
But trying to keep quiet, to be a well-behaved
and compassionate little girl
got me heart of stone instead - 'taş yürekli'.

Thus seeking paradise by trying to be good
got me the hell of existing without being alive - 'öldüm'.
