Let Me See
Standing without ground,
Knowing without memory,
Thinking without mind,
Strength without power,
Fail me!
Make me second!
Show me better!
Humiliate me!
Take it away from me!
Break me!
Teach me who I am!
Right or wrong,
Good or bad,
Happiness or sadness,
Fear or safety,
Don’t be their slave.
Lie on the ocean,
It will carry you—
Freedom without choice.
How strong you are
In your desires,
How clever you are
In your games,
How creative
In your defenses,
How strategic
In your attacks.
How fast you flee
In my presence.
Like a rat,
Why do you run from me?
Let me see who you are.
You are what you are.
What a painter,
Drawing ugly as beautiful,
What a storyteller,
Narrating disgusting as tasty,
What a guardian,
Prisoning in colorful gardens—
You are.
Let me see you!
You are what you are.
You are what you are.
What use are you then?
Let me see!
