Who am I? Where have I gone?
I remember me, the one I loved
A person who was always strong
Now I'm weak and always sad
Seems I've thrown away
The happy life that I had
Who's this stranger sitting here?
Filled with pain so fierce
And the stasis of fear
Who am I? Where have I gone?
I'm nowhere to be found
I've been gone so long
The mirror shows a stranger's face
One I don't recognize
Even with God's good grace
It's an image I've grown to hate
But I'm stuck with it now
Seems like that is my fate
Who am I? Where have I gone?
I listen intently
But noone's singing my song
I used to be strong, full of pride
Now I retreat to my room
Where I do nothing but hide
By a code of honor I used to live
Now self respect leaks away
As if through a sieve
Who am I? Where have I gone?
I've looked deep inside
What I found is just wrong
I had an intellect sharp and bright
Now my thoughts are dulled
By the alcohol's bite
I was full of love for the world around
Now I'm just empty inside,
No heart to be found
Who am I? Where have I gone?

I would like to translate this poem
You go nowhere but here, still the same person that are strong and bright...it just now time show us another side of us..The great things never vanished but remained...is still there
