1. Why is life so hard?Why do we suffer?
10. Never will I return home;soon I will be forgotten.
11. And so, I cry out to youin agony and distress.
12. Am I the sea or a sea monster?Is that why you imprison me?
13. I go to bed, hoping for rest,
14. but you torture mewith terrible dreams.
15-16. I'd rather choke to deaththan live in this body.Leave me alone and let me die;my life has no meaning.
