I am curious, amongst this ocean of distortion, imagination, insecurity and cellular amazing
Where I belong

Accept a place as an animal amongst animals
Or as a son of a omnipotent father so I don't feel alone

Accept a black and white document of myself
Because the full colour painting won't sell

Accepting dreams as translucent
Because I'm so cowardly to what could be made real

As I filter the wild tornado's wreckage behind me
Into something that I can build again
The smallest scrap of paper reminds me why I bother
Two words in familiar handwriting
"Why not?"

I know my faults as something solvable
I know my perks as something valuable
And I know compassion that warms the soul

Forgive me though, my confused observer
My brother in the street who knows **** all behind my face
Forgive me as I do
Whatever this is
My way
