“I refuse to change who I am”, I proudly declare;
but who the hell is that “I”, anyway,
and what do they really want for me?

Wake! Wake up!
It screams.
Hear me! Get up!
It whistles.
…
This marriage of elements simply lives a short, furious existence, however it pleases, until exhaustion.
What is this pervasiveness?
What is this system of patterns
These loops both logical and non?
…
…I could have gone so much further
Could have taught myself so many things
When the world opened to me
When I could finally reach the lessons
…
If you can see me
If you can see parts of me that I cannot
Tell me so
Describe them to me
…
Are there good things that make me worthwhile?
Do I have kindness? Empathy?
Do I bring others comfort in times of strife?
