DO YOU STIR INSIDE LONGING FOR SOMETHING MORE THAN YOUR AVERAGE-EVERYDAYNESS? AND DO YOU TREMBLE INSIDE FEARING STAINS UPON YOUR CEASELESS AND UNTURNED SOUL? ANSWERS OUT OF REACH--A NOTHING BEYOND. SEEKING BEING, SEEKING MEANING. BUT HAVING TO BE A BODY, AND HAVING TO COPE WITH LOSS; HAVING TO DEAL WITH ABSENCE, HAVING TO BEAR IT ALL.

STUCK LOOKING INWARDS. BLACK, NIHIL, NOTHING. EGO THINKING SELF. KNOWER KNOWING KNOWER, KNOWER KNOWING NOTHING. I CAN’T FIND THE ANSWERS IN ME, I CAN’T FIND A CAUSE. RUPTURES MY SELFHOOD. ‘CAUSE I’VE GOT THE EARS TO IGNORE, AND I’VE GOT THE EYES TO TURN AWAY, I’VE GOT THIS HEART TO DISCOUNT, AND I’VE GOT A SOUL TO LEAD ASTRAY. L’AMOUR PROPRE IS NOT LOVING, LOOKING INWARDS FAILING LIVING.

AND SO HE TRIES TO FLOW, TO LIVE FULLY. HOPING, LOVING, CREATED FROM NOTHING. HE’S GIVING UP, HE’S WEARING DOWN; HE’S GIVING UP, HE’S LETTING GO.EYES CLOSED, ROOM COLD, AIR STALE; FOREBODING, FOREWARNED. "BUT IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE A STRIFE, AND IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE A STRUGGLE." NO IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE A STRIFE, IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE A STRUGGLE UPHILL. HE JUST WANTED TO BE A HUMAN BEING. HE JUST WANTED TO BE AT HOME. HE JUST WANTED TO SEE, TO LIVE AND LEARN AND HE JUST WANTED TO BE AT HOME.

HERE: A SHADOW, AN ECHO OF WHAT YOU WERE--INVADING MY LIVING, ELUDING MY GAZE. AND HERE: A LIVING AND BREATHING REMINDER OF EVERYTHING I OWE, OF WHAT I HAVE TO GIVE. ALL WITHOUT VIOLENCE, WITHOUT BREAKING IN. FACES CALLING FOR ACTION, EYES CALLING FOR CARE. STARING IN AND BREAKING DOWN YOUR PRIDE. ASKING FOR YOUR HAND AND LISTENING. ALL YOU ARE HAS COME IN FROM WITHOUT; YOU ARE NOT THE CAUSE OF YOU, AND YOU ARE NOT THE END.

I WAITED AND LET THE WATER IN, AND PARTED WITH MYSELF, AND LOOKED ONTO YOUR FACE. (IT) DISRUPTED THE FUNCTION OF MY LIVING, THE EGO IN MY WORKING, THE FRAGILE IN MY HOME. AND AS YOU DESERVED MY FOCUS, YOU CALLED FOR MY LABOURS. I WAS NOTHING BEFORE YOU--I WAS EGO UNWORTHY. AND AS YOU DESERVED MY FOCUS, YOU DESERVED MY LABOURS.

THE MORNING BROKE YOUR SILENCE, THE LIGHT UNDID YOUR DARK. YOUR STIRRING LED MY STRIVING TO YOUR WARM UNWIELDY HEART. I KNOW THAT I’M UNWORTHY OF EVERYTHING YOU DO, SO I’LL TAKE MY CALLOUSED HANDS AND I’LL WORK MY KNUCKLES BLUE. I DON’T DESERVE YOUR SHAPE, AND I DON’T DENY MY FAILING. I’LL RAISE YOU ABOVE MY SELF, I WILL RESPECT YOUR BEYOND. IF YOU COULD JUST SEE THROUGH MY BROKEN. I’LL TRY TO BE YOUR SOLEMN UNWORTHY; I’LL TRY TO BE YOUR STATIC PATTERN.

I CLIMBED TO SHATTER THESE WORLDLY DREAMS. I STRIVED TO CONQUER WORLDLY DEMONS. AND I KNEW THAT I WAS NOT ENOUGH. I WORKED AND I WAS NOT ENOUGH. AS JUST A WORLDLY THING, BORN INTO THIS AND ALL ITS LIMITS, I FEEL COMPELLED TO LEARN. I FEEL COMPELLED TO LISTEN. BUT AS A TOXIC THING, BORN INTO THIS AND ALL ITS PRISONS, I’VE GOT NO RIGHT TO LEAVE AND I’VE GOT NO POWER. TO LIGHT ALL YOUR TORCHES WITH FLAME, TO EARN THAT WHICH I HAVE BEEN GIVEN. MY LIVING IS NOT ENOUGH. MY DYING IS TOO CLOSE.

I HAVE CLIMBED AND I AM CLIMBING, BUT I'VE NOT LOOKED INTO YOUR SUN. AND I HAVE DANCED AND I AM DANCING--BUT I MOVE LIGHTLY, I AM DROWNING, I'M UNDONE. BUT IF I CAN'T SPEAK YOUR NAME, HOW DARE I THANK YOU FOR THIS? THE BOTTOM'S FALLING OUT; MY WORDS ARE FALLING SHORT. AND I KNOW NOTHING NOW THAT I KNOW YOU.
