Tyuta Shel Osher by Noam Horev

“All my life, I write.

All my life – I write."

I write my loneliness. And my togetherness.

I write my childhood. My family.

The loves and the goodbyes.

I write my truth, even when it’s harsh or ridiculous.

Everyone who has passed through me and left a scratch or a crack of light.

Every song, every sentence, every word –

They are another feeble attempt to capture the beauty of these lives.

They are another attempt of mine to understand something about myself. About humans. About the world.

Every song, every sentence, every word – they are yet another draft of happiness.

I still don’t know if there’s ever a final version,

but if for one small moment my words can inspire, offer comfort, or reflect something to others,

I am happy. The happiest.”
