Imagine, for a moment, that which you have only seen In reflections, distortion, words disproportionately Silting, spilt into the slits of your eyes Reflections, collections, of hazarded half-truths They capture your form, but they can’t capture you Perhaps, that is why You don’t understand. Perhaps…it is because You have never seen your soul. I have. You are shattered in sharp little pieces, Stained with blood from the hands which try to claim them. It’s ****** and grand, do you now understand? It is enough for you to be. It is mindless isn’t it? Sickening. That someone could love you for just being. That this soma, this shell, this imperfect display Can so effortlessly express an unquantifiable goodness. You didn't choose to exist to be to be loved Does it hurt to be loved?

The Trouble With Mirrors
Imagine, for a moment, that which you have only seen In reflections, distortion, words disproportionately Silting, spilt into the slits of your eyes Reflections, collections, of hazarded half-truths They capture your form, but they can’t capture you Perhaps, that is why You don’t understand. Perhaps…it is because You have never seen your soul. I have. You are shattered in sharp little pieces, Stained with blood from the hands which try to claim them. It’s ****** and grand, do you now understand? It is enough for you to be. It is mindless isn’t it? Sickening. That someone could love you for just being. That this soma, this shell, this imperfect display Can so effortlessly express an unquantifiable goodness. You didn't choose to exist to be to be loved Does it hurt to be loved?
