Tanka - Kyoshin's Tanka 18 "Tears So Far" (24 poems) Summary

《Kyoshin's Tanka = Tanka that is just the heart》 is what this is. It is


《Tanka of prayer and shouting (I'll just call them Tanka)》 that sings of the despair, loneliness, and faint light in daily life... hey, let's just call it all "love"!!🌱


The core of the work is a 《self-cheering song》 that says, "Life has its ups and downs, but I'll do my best!!"📣


So that the joy of living is not swallowed up by the sadness of living...🌸

Keep going with joy(and a sigh)!!!


Let's go happily while sighing!!!

I hope that such a 《breeze of Kyoshin's Tanka》 can eventually become a cheering song for someone... 《a cheer for you》 as a result⭐️


This article is a #KyoshinTankaSummary 📒 that compiles my #KyoshinTanka, which I have been uploading daily as 18-#AlmostDailyTanka, into Chapter 18, "Tears So Far".


I hope to deliver the overwhelming impact unique to a summary format as if it were a book🌟🌟🌟

~Tears So Far~

Long night, where is the more wonderful world (myself)? A stuffed bag, an empty water bottle

It's painful because I'm lazy, a distant voice, I'm already tired, I can't do it anymore


Pathetic, I should have been able to do more, the water level is rising, Mayday Mayday


Tear drops, they don't fall well, even though the feeling of wanting to cry is overflowing


Stop time, I want to forget, I want to sleep, it wasn't supposed to be like this


Parched throat, trembling eyelids, gritting teeth, hiding sighs, time until morning


Give up, don't give up, a balance scale, swaying, can't choose, which is the better deal


Searching for the cause, reason, meaning, excuse, I want to run away, I want to be forgiven


I don't want to lose, stupid, clumsy, what a waste, competition efficiency, criteria for ranking


Muddy, skipping the process, I want to eat plenty of sweet fruit


Red moon, taut string, about to snap, just a little, the atmosphere trembles


Entangled, squeezed, short of breath, tired of struggling, stars in the floating sea


Clenched, stiffening, freezing, gently opening, powdered snow from the sky


Inferiority complex, faked with effort and guts, is it enough now, white evening moon


Trembling hands, thick mask, fogged glasses, didn't notice, the morning sky


Groping, covered in scratches, I've had enough, but somehow it always works out


Inside the cocoon, what should I do, actually, I knew it, wings are forming


Shooting star, can't notice it, but it's always there, I'll see it someday, I can see it anytime


Continuing road, no hiding place to be found, it seems I can go, the tail of a song of victory


Can't go back, muddy road, still can go, with trembling feet, moving forward while scared


Shallow breathing, blurred vision, groping, faking it, moving slowly


Where I'm heading, honestly I don't know, I'll hold on, to this faint breath


The tears I have shed so far will surely light the path ahead for my feet


Light exists, living to the fullest, the wind will change, let's go happily
