Under the Sea

The sea and the land are two separate worlds. The princess of the sea is in torture because of her unrealistic love under the sea, but she suffers from walking while she is up there because every step she takes is like walking on a sharp knife.

Only the princess knows the bleeding love. Yet she still loves the human world. She collected all kinds of chotchkies and finally went up to the droughty world except she can never return.

Sometimes I feel like I'm like the little mermaid who struggles in this different world. Giving up her father, grandmother and sisters, she comes to the land with no one to depend on. I gave up my care-free life and came to the culturally-reversed country.

But how could i be like her, to be with the prince even when she's walking on the tips of the knives; how could I be like her, to pursue an eternal soul?

Will she be lonely? Where will her soul end up? This is the most beautiful and most lamenting fairy tales I have ever read. Her love breaks along with the knife cuts the sky into the sea. The setting sun melts her into an eternal soul.

I reach for you, but you are so far away. Your glowing rays of light are calling me, so I move forward but I'm afraid that I will be burnt. My prince, will you love me? Do you know I am the silent mermaid?
