取り止めのない話ですけど、いいですか。
学校行けなかったことってありますか。
私は15の頃初めて休んでから、
何にもない日も大切な日も休むようになりました。
あの日までは、私、皆勤賞だったの。
でも糸が切れたら行けなくなるのわかってた。
だから腕を切っては足を切っては気を逸らした。
張り詰めた心の糸切りたくなかった。
死にたいわけじゃなかった。
それでも生きていたかった。
糸が切れて私は行けなくなりました。
朝起きれなくてカーテンも閉めたままで、
部屋から一歩も出ずにトイレも行かずに
登校時間が早く過ぎ去れ過ぎ去れ過ぎ去れと願う。
母親は心配して様子を見に入ってきて、
ベッドの傍ら「どうしたの？」って私に話しかけた。
でも答えられない私の腕を掴んでは引っ張り、
それでも起きない私に泣いて出て行った。
泣かせたいわけじゃなかった。
それでも生きていたかった。
母親が仕事行って誰もいなくなって、
私はやっと起きて一階に降りてみます。
机の上に置かれたお弁当は蓋を開けると
綺麗に盛られた美味しそうなオムライス。
夜中にみんなが寝静まったその後で、
私はそれを食べたくてリビングに行きました。
そしたら流しの角に設置してあった生ゴミまみれの
三角コーナーに捨てられてたオムライス。
私がゴミになりたかった。
それでも生きていたかった。
傷を負って。傷負わせて。
それでも生きていたかった。
それでも生きていたかった。
English Translation
Is it okay if I talk about something aimless?
Have you ever missed a day of school?
The first time I skipped was when I was fifteen,
and after that, I started skipping on both ordinary and important days.
Until that day, I had perfect attendance.
But I always knew—if the thread snapped, I wouldn't be able to go anymore.
So I'd cut my arms, then my legs, to distract myself.
I didn't want to sever the taut thread of my heart.
It wasn't that I wanted to die.
Still, I wanted to keep living.
When the thread broke, I couldn't go anymore.
I couldn't get out of bed, left the curtains drawn,
didn't step out of my room, didn't even go to the bathroom.
I just kept wishing, "Let the school hours pass, pass, pass."
My mother, worried, came in to check on me.
She sat by my bed and asked, "What's wrong?"
But I couldn't answer, and she grabbed my arm and tried to pull me up.
When I still wouldn't move, she left the room in tears.
It wasn't that I wanted to make her cry.
Still, I wanted to keep living.
After my mother left for work and the house was empty,
I finally got up and went downstairs.
On the table was a lunchbox, and when I opened it,
there was a perfectly made, delicious-looking omelette rice.
Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed,
I went to the living room, wanting to eat it.
But when I got there, I found it in the kitchen trash,
in the corner filled with food waste, thrown away.
I wanted to become trash.
Still, I wanted to keep living.
Hurt myself. Hurt others.
Still, I wanted to keep living.
Still, I wanted to keep living.
Official English Translation
It might sound pointless, do you mind?
Have you ever been unable to go to school?
Since I first missed school at the age of fifteen,
I couldn't attend school on both regular and special days.
Before that day, I used to receive the perfect attendance award.
However, I knew that I would not be able to go if the thread snapped one day.
So, I distracted myself by cutting my arms and my legs.
I didn't want to snap the tensioned thread of my heart.
It wasn't that I wanted to die.
I still wanted to live.
The thread snapped, and I could not go to school anymore.
I couldn't wake up in the morning, I kept my curtains shut,
I would stay in my room all day, even without going to the bathroom.
I wished many times that the time to go to school would pass away.
My mom worried, and she came in to see how I was doing.
She asked me from the bedside, "What's going on?"
But I couldn't answer. She would grab and pull my arm.
I still couldn't wake up, so my mom cried and left.
It wasn't that I wanted to make her cry.
I still wanted to live.
My mom went out to work, and there was no one left in the house.
So, I finally woke up and headed downstairs.
There was a bento box on the table so I opened the lid.
There it was, beautifully arranged, delicious-looking omelet rice.
In the middle of the night, after everyone has fallen asleep,
I went to the living room because I wanted to eat it.
In the corner sink strainer covered in food scraps,
There it was, dumped in the garbage, that omelet rice.
I was the one who wanted to be the garbage.
I still wanted to live.
I hurt myself, and I hurt others.
I still wanted to live.
I still wanted to live.
