How much deeper does she have to sink,
before she runs out of breath and die?
How many times does she have to die,
before she could resurrect and feel alive once more?
How alive should she have to be,
before the world will curse her to utter damnation?
How many curses does she have to endure,
before the gods decide to pity this poor, wretched girl?
