Too good

When you start thinking,
no, when you KNOW
something is just TOO GOOD for yourself,
and therefore you can never have it,

나 슬퍼해야 되는 거니?
cuz this is a futile desire?
cuz I'm desiring what is beyond my reach?

사실 난 정답을 알고 있어.
drink milk so I can get taller, or get a stool to stand on, or get a stick so I can reach higher,
노력하면, 될지도 몰라.

근데 아무리 노력해도 안될 것 같은 건,
어떡해야 되는 걸까....
I feel like I've come to a fork in the road of my life,
one road leads to an easy, less-desired life
the other leads to a difficult but more desired life

그 앞에 쪼그리고 앉아있는 듯한 기분이다.
I feel like I'm just sitting there, hugging my knees
trying to buy time, putting off making a decision
and thus
wasting precious time, letting it slip through my fingers
(like I've done so many times before)..
