I

I think that you’ll save me

So I agree with the world as I see it

I pay a visit to hope and dreams, regularly

Tearing my shoes to shreds

I don’t complain much

Not even a bit

Inducing myself against me, I honestly lie and promise a world to me

I am another, made to be the first in order to stay in line

And nothing is in order

Everything is boiling and almost steaming inside of me when you say

“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life”

And I’m full and overeaten, drunk and intoxicated

I don’t want an endless life, I want to live

To spout out the light, to burst out the darkness

In which they’ve led me on a leash like a dog

Others, showing me where to urinate and where to lay

To put on a mask and pretend that I love until I begin to believe that I love,

Persuade myself to love

I hesitate

I listen as words come into my ears and I let them work, twist around

I’m not giving up but I am afraid to continue

And that is not the same

I’m frightened that

I talk stupid

Look stupid

That my foot is too big to

Step out

The freedom is inside of me

Well then, I’m free as I will

To humbly serve

To obey

To remain

In place

If you're too tired to go out tonight, just think how you'll feel at seventy two!
