時々考えるんだ

私って何者?

できることなんってあるの?

わたし, 期待外れなのかな? (きたいはずれ)

普通じゃないのかな?

このままでいいのかな?

現代の在日問題を考察する =(げんだいのざいにちもんだいをこうさつ
する)

これカワイイっと思ってんの?うける

彼女はアメリカ人?日本人?

ぜんぶ無視できできたらいいのに (むし)

わたし浮いてる?

もっと馴染んだほうがいいのかな? (馴染む = なじむ)

ここにいちゃだめなの?

みんな好かれなきゃ

我慢しなきゃ (がまん)

気にしないふり,しなきゃ

今までずっとそうだった

それが当たり前だって, 思ってた

でもそんなことないかもね

あり得ないって

いつか誰もが ありのままに生きられる 世界になるって

でも, そんなの待ってられない

動かしつづける. 自分を. 未来を. (みらい)

 

Sometimes I wonder

Who am I / What kind of person am I?

Can I do anything?

Am I a disappointment?

Am I not normal? / unusual?

Is it OK to be like this / to be me?

The current foreign resident problem will be investigated/studied

Are you American or Japanese?

Do you think this is cute? That’s funny. (Haha!)

I wish I could ignore it all.

Am I out of place? = Do I not belong here?

Should I try to blend in more? (= fit in more)

Should I not be here?

I must get people to like me = I must make people like me

I have to stand it / endure

I have to pretend not to care

It's always been like that until now

I thought that was natural / the way it's supposed to be

But maybe that's not true / that's not the case / that's not right

It's impossible

Someday everyone will

I can live as I am

become the world

= Someday the world will become a place everyone can be themselves

but I can't wait for that

Keep moving. To be yourself. To the future
