"THE PATH"

Victoria Zadorska

(translation into English)
The path taught me to be here.
Staying alive and free.
And proved: that not only the first step is significant.
Because every step is a way to win.
It’s not the end, it just the beginning.
Even though, a life is a path to death.
But you are the only one to choose your path.
So I choose to live.
To live in a house not destroyed by a bomb.
To stay safe, not to be trammed.
I choose myself.
I choose to be.
To be, although the enemy want me to die.
But we’ll stay alive.
We just cannot die.

Independent Ukranian writer — director — filmmaker.
