Tristesse

Kochany,

I'm going to die.

Without anyone knowing, without anyone noticing, I'm going to disappear on Earth without so much of a memory to leave.

I'm going to die.

The trees looked much greener. The flower's perfumed the air heavier. Why haven't I notice it before? Are my eyes that much of a blind mind to not appreciate beauty? Is it because I see the world as a cynical place, had I never allowed my heart to know anymore? To explore?

I'm going to die.

I'll die at an early age, for I'm simply but a lad, who at first reveled at the simple pleasures of life: I am satisfied with a roof above my head, water quenching the thirst of my throat. I indulged myself in the simplicity of eating the most pungent of dairy and meat.

I'm going to die

I thought I'm going to live a silent life, for I am but a humble peasant. I have no riches to boast of, nothing of importance in measure of those with power. I'm a simple man, and simple my life had been.

Until they came.

I'm going to die.

They searched my home, took everything in my threshold, sold what they can find, left nothing for me and the people.

I'm going to die.

I tried resisting at first. With tears streaming down my cheeks, I begged them not to hurt anyone.

I'm going to die.

"mnie wolność

potrzebuję mojej wolności

co wy skradliście"

I'm going to die.

They didn't.

I'm going to die.

But, I'm the one who suffered most. I thought I'll live through them breaking my body and soul.

I'm going to die.

But I failed.

I'm going to die.

I already did.

I died without a trace.

- Feliks Łukasiewicz, 1772

A/N: Tristesse means 'sadness'. It was commonly known as "Chopin composed the song as tribute for the failed Polish uprisings happening in his homeland. He was in France then, and Tristesse is what he labeled as 'his most beautiful composition'. Though not politically, Chopin despaired of Poland through his music.

This story is a tribute for Poland. A short memory of The First Partition.
